To convey to the modern reader what is about to happen and who is doing it, the translation “I am about to defeat Jericho for you” has been used.

[7:10]  ¹ tn Heb “said.”

[7:10]  ² tn Heb “Why are you falling on your face?”

[8:26]  ¹ tn Heb “Joshua did not draw back his hand which held out the curved sword until he had annihilated all the residents of Ai.”

[11:19]  ¹ tn The LXX omits this parenthetical note, which may represent a later scribal addition.

[11:19]  ² tn Heb “the whole they took in battle.”
