Joshua 14:6-7

14:6 The men of Judah approached Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know what the Lord said about you and me to Moses, the man of God, at Kadesh Barnea. ²⁰  14:7 I was forty years old when Moses, the Lord’s servant, sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy on the land and I brought back to him an honest report. ²¹

Joshua 17:4

[1:2]  ¹ tn Heb “Get up!”

[1:2]  ² tn Heb “this Jordan”; the word “River” has been supplied in the translation for clarity (likewise in v. 11).

[1:2]  ³ tc Heb “Cross over this Jordan, you and all these people, to the land that I am giving to them, to the children of Israel.” The final phrase, “to the children of Israel,” is probably a later scribal addition specifying the identity of “these people/them.”

[1:7]  ⁴ tn Or “Only be.”

[1:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “so you can be careful to do.” The use of the infinitive לִשְׁמֹר (lishmor, “to keep”) after the imperatives suggests that strength and bravery will be necessary for obedience. Another option is to take the form לִשְׁמֹר as a vocative lamed (ל) with imperative (see Isa 38:20 for an example of this construction), which could be translated, “Indeed, be careful!”

[1:7]  ⁶ tn Heb “commanded you.”

[1:7]  ⁷ tn Heb “be wise,” but the word can mean “be successful” by metonymy.

[1:7]  ⁸ tn Heb “in all which you go.”

[1:13]  ⁷ tn Heb “remember the word which Moses, the Lord’s servant, commanded you.”

[1:13]  ⁸ tn Heb “is providing rest for you and is giving to you this land.”

[1:14]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “But you must cross over armed for battle before your brothers, all [you] mighty men of strength.”

[3:7]  ¹³ tn Or more literally, “to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel.”

[8:35]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “There was not a word from all which Moses commanded that Joshua did not read aloud.”

[8:35]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “walked in their midst.”

[11:12]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and he struck them down with the edge of the sword, he annihilated them.”

[11:20]  ²² tn Heb “for from the Lord it was to harden their heart[s] to meet for the battle with Israel, in order to annihilate them, so that they would receive no mercy, in order annihilate them, as the Lord commanded Moses.”

[11:23]  ²⁵ tn Heb “took.”

[11:23]  ²⁶ tn Heb “according to all which the Lord said to Moses.” The translation assumes this refers to the promise of the land (see 1:3). Another possibility is that it refers to the Lord’s instructions, in which case the phrase could be translated, “just as the Lord had instructed Moses” (so NLT; cf. also NIV “had directed Moses”).

[11:23]  ²⁷ tn Heb “and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their allotted portions by their tribes.”

[14:6]  ²⁸ tn Heb “You know the word which the Lord spoke to Moses, the man of God, because of me and because of you in Kadesh Barnea.”

[14:7]  ³¹ tn Heb “and I brought back to him a word just as [was] in my heart.”

[14:9]  ³⁴ tn Heb “swore an oath.”

[14:9]  ³⁵ tn Heb “on which your foot has walked.”

[14:9]  ³⁶ tn Heb “will belong to you for an inheritance, and to your sons forever.”

[17:4]  ³⁷ tn Heb “The Lord commanded Moses to assign to us an inheritance in the midst of our brothers.” Since Zelophehad had no sons, “brothers” must refer to their uncles, as the next sentence makes clear.

[17:4]  ³⁸ tn Heb “he.” The referent is probably Joshua, although Eleazar is mentioned first in the preceding list.

[17:4]  ³⁹ tn Heb “and he assigned to them in accordance with the mouth [i.e., command] of the Lord an inheritance in the midst of the brothers of their father.”

[18:7]  ⁴⁰ tn Or “the priesthood of the Lord.”

[18:7]  ⁴¹ tn Or “inheritance.”

[22:4]  ⁴³ tn Heb “has given rest to your brothers.”

[22:4]  ⁴⁴ tn Heb “tents.”

[22:4]  ⁴⁵ tn Heb “the land of your possession.”

[22:5]  ⁴⁶ tn Heb “But be very careful to do the commandment and the law which Moses, the Lord’s servant, commanded you, to love.”

[22:5]  ⁴⁷ tn Heb “walk in all his paths.”

[22:5]  ⁴⁸ tn Or “keep.”

[22:5]  ⁴⁹ tn Heb “hug him.”
