Joshua 17:4

Joshua 5:6

5:6 Indeed, for forty years the Israelites traveled through the desert until all the men old enough to fight when they left Egypt, the ones who had disobeyed the Lord, died off. ⁸  For the Lord had sworn a solemn oath to them that he would not let them see the land he had sworn on oath to give them, ⁹  a land rich in ¹⁰  milk and honey.

Joshua 9:24

9:24 They said to Joshua, “It was carefully reported to your subjects ¹¹  how the Lord your God commanded Moses his servant to assign you the whole land and to destroy all who live in the land from before you. Because of you we were terrified ¹²  we would lose our lives, so we did this thing.

[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.

[21:43]  ² tn Heb “which he had sworn to give to their fathers.”

[21:43]  ³ tn Or “possessed.”

[7:7]  ³ tn Heb “said.”

[17:4]  ⁴ 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]  ⁵ tn Heb “he.” The referent is probably Joshua, although Eleazar is mentioned first in the preceding list.

[17:4]  ⁶ 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.”

[5:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “all the nation, the men of war who went out from Egypt, who did not listen to the voice of the Lord, came to an end.”

[5:6]  ⁶ tn Some Hebrew mss, as well as the Syriac version, support this reading. Most ancient witnesses read “us.”

[5:6]  ⁷ tn Heb “flowing with.”

[9:24]  ⁶ tn Heb “your servants.”

[9:24]  ⁷ tn Or “we were very afraid.”
