[12:8]  ¹ tn Or “the foothills”; Heb “the Shephelah.”

[12:8]  ² tn The words “the land of” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[13:4]  ³ tn Or “from Teman.” The phrase is especially problematic if taken with what follows, as the traditional verse division suggests. For further discussion see T. C. Butler, Joshua (WBC), 146.

[13:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “all the land of the Canaanites.”

[13:4]  ⁵ tc The reading “Arah” assumes a slight emendation of the Hebrew vowel pointing. The MT reads, “and a cave,” or “and Mearah” (if one understands the word as a proper noun).

[13:4]  ⁶ tn Heb “which belongs to the Sidonians.”

[24:8]  ⁵ tn Or “took possession of.”

[24:12]  ⁷ tn Traditionally, “the hornet” (so KJV, NKJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV) but the precise meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain (cf. NEB “panic”).

[24:12]  ⁸ tn The LXX has “twelve,” apparently understanding this as a reference to Amorite kings west of the Jordan (see Josh 5:1, rather than the trans-Jordanian Amorite kings Sihon and Og (see Josh 2:10; 9:10).

[24:12]  ⁹ tn Heb “and it drove them out from before you, the two kings of the Amorites, not by your sword and not by your bow.” The words “I gave you the victory” are supplied for clarification.

[10:6]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “do not let your hand drop from us.”

[10:6]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “your servants!”

[10:6]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “have gathered against us.”

[10:12]  ¹⁹ 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”).

[12:2]  ²¹ tn Or perhaps, “reigned.”

[12:2]  ²² tc The MT reads here, “and the middle of the valley,” but the reading “the city in the middle of valley” can be reconstructed on the basis of Josh 13:9, 16.
