[13:8]  ¹ tn The MT reads “with him,” which is problematic, since the reference would be to the other half of the tribe of Manasseh (not the half mentioned in v. 7).

[13:8]  ² tn Heb “received their inheritance, which Moses had assigned to them beyond the Jordan.”

[13:9]  ³ tn The words “their territory started” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[13:11]  ⁴ tn The words “their territory also included” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[2:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “they.”

[2:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “she”; the referent (Rahab) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:8]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew text adds, “to them.” This is somewhat redundant in English and has not been translated.

[5:5]  ⁸ tn Or “indeed.”

[5:5]  ⁹ tn Heb “people.”

[5:5]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “all the people.”
