Joshua 17:12

17:12 But the men ¹  of Manasseh were unable to conquer these cities; the Canaanites managed ²  to remain in those areas.

Joshua 23:13

23:13 know for certain that the Lord our God will no longer drive out these nations from before you. They will trap and ensnare you; ³  they will be a whip that tears ⁴  your sides and thorns that blind ⁵  your eyes until you disappear ⁶  from this good land the Lord your God gave you.

[17:12]  ¹ 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.

[17:12]  ² tn Or “were determined.”

[23:13]  ³ tn Heb “be a trap and a snare to you.”

[23:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “in.”

[23:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “thorns in your eyes.”

[23:13]  ⁶ tn Or “perish.”
