Joshua 2:10-11

2:10 For we heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you left Egypt and how you annihilated the two Amorite kings, Sihon and Og, on the other side of the Jordan. ¹  2:11 When we heard the news we lost our courage and no one could even breathe for fear of you. ²  For the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on earth below!

Joshua 6:5

Joshua 6:10

6:10 Now Joshua had instructed the army, ⁷  “Do not give a battle cry ⁸  or raise your voices; say nothing ⁹  until the day I tell you, ‘Give the battle cry.’ ¹⁰  Then give the battle cry!” ¹¹ 

Joshua 6:20

6:20 The rams’ horns sounded ¹²  and when the army ¹³  heard the signal, ¹⁴  they gave a loud battle cry. ¹⁵  The wall collapsed ¹⁶  and the warriors charged straight ahead into the city and captured it. ¹⁷ 

Joshua 9:1

The Gibeonites Deceive Israel

9:1 When the news reached all the kings on the west side of the Jordan ¹⁸  – in the hill country, the lowlands, ¹⁹  and all along the Mediterranean coast ²⁰  as far as ²¹  Lebanon (including the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites) –

Joshua 10:1

Israel Defeats an Amorite Coalition

10:1 Adoni-Zedek, king of Jerusalem, ²²  heard how Joshua captured Ai and annihilated it and its king as he did Jericho ²³  and its king. ²⁴  He also heard how ²⁵  the people of Gibeon made peace with Israel and lived among them.

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. ²⁶  But, assuming the Lord is with me, I will conquer ²⁷  them, as the Lord promised.”

Joshua 22:11

22:11 The Israelites received this report: ²⁸  “Look, the Reubenites, Gadites, and half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar at the entrance to ²⁹  the land of Canaan, at Geliloth near the Jordan on the Israelite side.”

Joshua 22:30

22:30 When Phinehas the priest and the community leaders and clan leaders who accompanied him heard the defense of the Reubenites, Gadites, and the Manassehites, ³⁰  they were satisfied. ³¹ 

Joshua 24:27

24:27 Joshua said to all the people, “Look, this stone will be a witness against you, for it has heard everything the Lord said to us. ³²  It will be a witness against you if ³³  you deny your God.”

[2:10]  ¹ tn Heb “and what you did to the two Amorite kings who were beyond the Jordan, Sihon and Og, how you annihilated them.”

[2:11]  ² tn Heb “And we heard and our heart[s] melted and there remained no longer breath in a man because of you.”

[6:5]  ³ tn Heb “and it will be at the sounding of the horn, the ram’s horn, when you hear the sound of the ram’s horn.” The text of Josh 6:5 seems to be unduly repetitive, so for the sake of English style and readability, it is best to streamline the text here. The reading in the Hebrew looks like a conflation of variant readings, with the second (“when you hear the sound of the ram’s horn”) being an interpolation that assimilates the text to verse 20 (“when the army heard the sound of the horn”). Note that the words “when you hear the sound of the ram's horn” do not appear in the LXX of verse 5.

[6:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “all the people will shout with a loud shout.”

[6:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “fall in its place.”

[6:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “and the people will go up, each man straight ahead.”

[6:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “do not let a word come out of your mouths.”

[6:10]  ⁷ tn Or “the shout.”

[6:10]  ⁸ tn Or “the shout.”

[6:20]  ⁵ tc Heb “and the people shouted and they blew the rams’ horns.” The initial statement (“and the people shouted”) seems premature, since the verse goes on to explain that the battle cry followed the blowing of the horns. The statement has probably been accidentally duplicated from what follows. It is omitted in the LXX.

[6:20]  ⁶ tn Heb “the people.”

[6:20]  ⁷ tn Heb “the sound of the horn.”

[6:20]  ⁸ tn Heb “they shouted with a loud shout.”

[6:20]  ⁹ tn Heb “fell in its place.”

[6:20]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and the people went up into the city, each one straight ahead, and they captured the city.”

[9:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “When all the kings who were beyond the Jordan heard.”

[9:1]  ⁷ tn Or “foothills”; Heb “the Shephelah.”

[9:1]  ⁸ tn Heb “all the coast of the Great Sea.” The “Great Sea” was the typical designation for the Mediterranean Sea.

[9:1]  ⁹ tn Heb “in front of.”
