Joshua 12:1

12:1 Now these are the kings of the land whom the Israelites defeated and drove from their land ¹  on the east side of the Jordan, ²  from the Arnon Valley to Mount Hermon, including all the eastern Arabah:

Joshua 13:6

13:6 I will drive out before the Israelites all who live in the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim, ³  all the Sidonians; you be sure to parcel it out to Israel as I instructed you.” ⁴ 

Joshua 14:12

14:12 Now, assign me this hill country which the Lord promised me at that time! No doubt you heard at that time that the Anakites live there in large, fortified cities. ⁵  But, assuming the Lord is with me, I will conquer ⁶  them, as the Lord promised.”

Joshua 15:63

15:63 The men of Judah were unable to conquer the Jebusites living in Jerusalem. ⁷  The Jebusites live with the people of Judah in Jerusalem to this very day. ⁸ 

Joshua 17:18

17:18 The whole hill country ⁹  will be yours; though it is a forest, you can clear it and it will be entirely yours. ¹⁰  You can conquer the Canaanites, though they have chariots with iron-rimmed wheels and are strong.”

Joshua 18:3

18:3 So Joshua said to the Israelites: “How long do you intend to put off occupying ¹¹  the land the Lord God of your ancestors ¹²  has given you?

Joshua 19:47

19:47 (The Danites failed to conquer their territory, ¹³  so they went up and fought with Leshem and captured it. They put the sword to it, took possession of it, and lived in it. They renamed it ¹⁴  Dan after their ancestor. ¹⁵ )

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

[12:1]  ² tn Heb “beyond the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun.”

[13:6]  ³ tn The meaning of the Hebrew name “Misrephoth Maim” is perhaps “lime-kilns by the water” (see HALOT 2:641).

[13:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “only you, assign it by lots to Israel as an inheritance as I commanded you.”

[14:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “are there and large, fortified cities.”

[14:12]  ⁶ tn Or “will dispossess.”

[15:63]  ⁸ sn The statement to this very day reflects the perspective of the author, who must have written prior to David’s conquest of the Jebusites (see 2 Sam 5:6-7).

[17:18]  ⁹ tn The Hebrew text has simply “the hill country,” which must here include the hill country of Ephraim and the forest regions mentioned in v. 15.

[17:18]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and its limits will be yours.”

[18:3]  ¹¹ tn Heb “How long are you putting off entering and possessing.”

[18:3]  ¹² tn Or “fathers.”

[19:47]  ¹³ tn Heb “the territory of the sons of Dan went out from them.”

[19:47]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “Leshem.” The pronoun (“it”) has replaced the name “Leshem” in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[19:47]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “according to the name of their father.”
