Joshua 10:12

10:12 The day the Lord delivered the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua prayed to the Lord before Israel: ¹ 

“O sun, stand still over Gibeon!

O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon!”

Joshua 10:27

10:27 At sunset Joshua ordered his men to take them down from the trees. ²  They threw them into the cave where they had hidden and piled large stones over the mouth of the cave. (They remain to this very day.) ³ 

Joshua 12:1

12:1 Now these are the kings of the land whom the Israelites defeated and drove from their land ⁴  on the east side of the Jordan, ⁵  from the Arnon Valley to Mount Hermon, including all the eastern Arabah:

Joshua 23:4

23:4 See, I have parceled out to your tribes these remaining nations, ⁶  from the Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea ⁷  in the west, including all the nations I defeated. ⁸ 

[10:12]  ¹ tn Heb “Then Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day the Lord placed the Amorites before the sons of Israel and he said in the eyes of Israel.” It is uncertain whether the phrase “before the sons of Israel” modifies the verb “placed” (as in the present translation, “delivered the Amorites over to the Israelites”) or the verb “spoke” (“Joshua spoke to the Lord before the sons of Israel in the day the Lord delivered over the Amorites”).

[10:27]  ² sn For the legal background of the removal of the corpses before sundown, see Deut 21:22-23.

[10:27]  ³ tn Heb “to this very day.” The words “They remain” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[12:1]  ³ tn Heb “and took possession of their land.”

[12:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “beyond the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun.”

[23:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “I have assigned by lots to you these remaining nations as an inheritance for your tribes.”

[23:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “the Great Sea,” the typical designation for the Mediterranean Sea.

[23:4]  ⁶ tn Heb “from the Jordan and all the nations which I cut off and the Great Sea [at] the place where the sun sets.” The relationship of the second half of the verse, which mentions nations already conquered, to the first half, which speaks of “remaining nations,” is difficult to understand.
