[1:6]  ¹ tn Heb “For you will cause these people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give to them.” The pronoun “them” at the end of the verse refers to either the people or to the fathers.

[2:13]  ² tn Or “our lives.”

[2:16]  ³ tn Heb “Go.”

[2:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “so that the pursuers might not meet you.”

[2:16]  ⁵ tn Heb “the pursuers.” The object (“you”) is not in the Hebrew text but is implied.

[8:27]  ⁴ tn Heb “according to the word of the Lord which he commanded Joshua.”

[9:16]  ⁵ tn Heb “At the end of three days, after they made the treaty with them, they heard that they were neighbors to them and in their midst they were living.”

[9:19]  ⁷ tn Heb “to them by….”

[9:19]  ⁸ tn Or “touch.”

[9:21]  ⁸ tc Heb “and the leaders said to them.” The LXX omits the words “and the leaders said to them.”

[9:21]  ⁹ tn The vav (ו) consecutive construction in the Hebrew text suggests that the narrative resumes at this point. The LXX reads here, “and they will be,” understanding what follows to be a continuation of the leaders’ words rather than a comment by the narrator.

[9:21]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “as the leaders said to them.”

[9:22]  ⁹ sn Verses 22-27 appear to elaborate on v. 21b.

[23:7]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “with.”

[23:7]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and in the name of their gods you must not invoke and you must not make solemn declarations.” The words “and you must not make solemn declarations” are omitted in the LXX and may represent a later scribal addition to elucidate the immediately preceding command. The Hiphil of שָׁבַע (shava’) without an object occurs only here and in Josh 6:26.

[23:7]  ¹⁶ tn Or “serve.”
