[16:10]  ¹ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Ephraimites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:4]  ² 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]  ³ tn Heb “all the land of the Canaanites.”

[13:4]  ⁴ 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]  ⁵ tn Heb “which belongs to the Sidonians.”

[17:13]  ³ sn On the Israelites’ failure to conquer the Canaanites completely, see Judg 1:27-28.

[11:3]  ⁵ tn The verb “came” is supplied in the translation (see v. 4).

[11:3]  ⁶ tn Or “land.”

[17:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “sons”; “men” has been used in the translation because the context involves the conquest of cities; therefore, warriors (hence males) would be in view here.

[9:1]  ¹¹ tn Heb “in front of.”

[17:16]  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.

[17:16]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and there are iron chariots among all the Canaanites who live in the land of the valley, to those who are in Beth Shean and its daughters and to those who are in the Valley of Jezreel.” Regarding the translation “chariots with iron-rimmed wheels” see Y. Yadin, The Art of Warfare in Biblical Lands, 255 and R. Drews, “The ‘Chariots of Iron’ of Joshua and Judges,” JSOT 45 (1989): 15-23.
