[10:13]  ¹ tn Heb “Is it not written down in the Scroll of the Upright One.” Many modern translations render, “the Scroll [or Book] of Jashar,” leaving the Hebrew name “Jashar” (which means “Upright One”) untranslated.

[10:13]  ² tn Heb “and did not hurry to set [for] about a full day.”

[1:4]  ³ tn Heb “all the land of the Hittites.” The expression “the land of the Hittites” does not refer to Anatolia (modern Turkey), where the ancient Hittite kingdom of the second millennium b.c. was located, but rather to Syria, the “Hatti land” mentioned in inscriptions of the first millennium b.c. (see HALOT 1:363). The phrase is omitted in the LXX and may be a scribal addition.

[1:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “the Great Sea,” the typical designation for the Mediterranean Sea.

[1:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “From the wilderness and this Lebanon even to the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, even to the great sea [at] the place where the sun sets, your territory will be.”

[13:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “and the land of the Gebalites.”

[13:5]  ⁶ tn Or “the entrance to Hamath.” Most modern translations take the phrase “Lebo Hamath” to be a proper name, but often provide a note with the alternative, where “Hamath” is the proper name and לְבוֹא (lÿvo’) is taken to mean “entrance to.”

[19:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “eastward toward the rising of the sun.”

[19:27]  ⁹ tn Heb “left.”

[19:34]  ¹¹ tc The MT reads “Judah, the Jordan”; the LXX omits “Judah.” Perhaps there was a town named Judah, distinct from the tribe of Judah, located near the northern end of the Jordan.

[10:27]  ¹³ sn For the legal background of the removal of the corpses before sundown, see Deut 21:22-23.

[10:27]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “to this very day.” The words “They remain” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[12:1]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and took possession of their land.”

[12:1]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “beyond the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun.”

[23:4]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “I have assigned by lots to you these remaining nations as an inheritance for your tribes.”

[23:4]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “the Great Sea,” the typical designation for the Mediterranean Sea.

[23:4]  ¹⁹ 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.

[1:15]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “Then you may return to the land of your possession and possess it, that which Moses, the Lord’s servant, gave to you beyond the Jordan toward the rising of the sun.”

[8:29]  ²¹ tn Heb “on a tree until evening.” The words “leaving him exposed” are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[8:29]  ²² sn For the legal background of this action, see Deut 21:22-23.

[8:29]  ²³ tn Heb “to this day.”
