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 

Joshua 8:20

Joshua 9:1

9:1 When the news reached all the kings on the west side of the Jordan ⁴  – in the hill country, the lowlands, ⁵  and all along the Mediterranean coast ⁶  as far as ⁷  Lebanon (including the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites) –

[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.”

[9:1]  ³ tn Heb “When all the kings who were beyond the Jordan heard.”

[9:1]  ⁴ tn Or “foothills”; Heb “the Shephelah.”

[9:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “all the coast of the Great Sea.” The “Great Sea” was the typical designation for the Mediterranean Sea.

[9:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “in front of.”
