Joshua 17:4

17:4 They went before Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders and said, “The Lord told Moses to assign us land among our relatives.” ¹⁴  So Joshua ¹⁵  assigned them land among their uncles, as the Lord had commanded. ¹⁶

18:3 So Joshua said to the Israelites: “How long do you intend to put off occupying ¹⁷  the land the Lord God of your ancestors ¹⁸  has given you?

Joshua 19:47

19:47 (The Danites failed to conquer their territory, ¹⁹  so they went up and fought with Leshem and captured it. They put the sword to it, took possession of it, and lived in it. They renamed it ²⁰  Dan after their ancestor. ²¹ )

Joshua 19:51

[14:1]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “These are [the lands] which the sons of Israel received as an inheritance in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes assigned as an inheritance to the sons of Israel.”

[15:13]  ¹³ tn Heb “To Caleb son of Jephunneh he gave a portion in the midst of the sons of Judah according to the mouth [i.e., command] of the Lord to Joshua, Kiriath Arba (the father of Anak), it is Hebron.”

[17:1]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and the lot belonged to the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph.”

[17:1]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “to Makir, the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, for he was a man of war.”

[17:1]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “Gilead and Bashan belonged to him.”

[17:4]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “The Lord commanded Moses to assign to us an inheritance in the midst of our brothers.” Since Zelophehad had no sons, “brothers” must refer to their uncles, as the next sentence makes clear.

[17:4]  ²⁰ tn Heb “he.” The referent is probably Joshua, although Eleazar is mentioned first in the preceding list.

[17:4]  ²¹ tn Heb “and he assigned to them in accordance with the mouth [i.e., command] of the Lord an inheritance in the midst of the brothers of their father.”

[18:3]  ²² tn Heb “How long are you putting off entering and possessing.”

[18:3]  ²³ tn Or “fathers.”

[19:47]  ²⁵ tn Heb “the territory of the sons of Dan went out from them.”

[19:47]  ²⁶ tn Heb “Leshem.” The pronoun (“it”) has replaced the name “Leshem” in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[19:47]  ²⁷ tn Heb “according to the name of their father.”

[19:51]  ²⁸ tn Heb “the leaders of the fathers of the tribes.”

[19:51]  ²⁹ tn Heb “at the entrance of the tent of assembly.”

[21:44]  ³¹ tn Heb “gave them rest all around.”

[21:44]  ³² tn Heb “according to all he swore to their fathers.”

[21:44]  ³³ tn Heb “not a man stood from before them from all their enemies.”

[22:28]  ³⁴ tn The words “such a thing” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[22:28]  ³⁵ tn Heb “fathers.”

[22:28]  ³⁶ tn Heb “but it is a witness between us and you.”

[24:3]  ³⁷ tn Heb “the river,” referring to the Euphrates. This has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:3]  ³⁸ tn Or “through.”

[24:14]  ⁴⁰ sn Joshua quotes the Lord’s words in vv. 2b-13 (note that the Lord speaks in the first person in these verses); in vv. 14-15 Joshua himself exhorts the people (note the third person references to the Lord).

[24:14]  ⁴¹ tn Heb “fear.”

[24:14]  ⁴² tn Or “and serve.”

[24:14]  ⁴³ tn Heb “your fathers.”

[24:17]  ⁴³ tn Heb “of the house of slavery.”

[24:17]  ⁴⁴ tn Heb “for the Lord our God, he is the one who brought up us and our fathers from the land of Egypt, from the house of slaves.”

[24:17]  ⁴⁵ tn Or “great signs.”

[24:17]  ⁴⁶ tn Heb “and he guarded us in all the way in which we walked and among all the peoples through whose midst we passed.”

[24:32]  ⁴⁶ tn Heb “one hundred qesitahs.” The Hebrew word קְשִׂיטָה (qesitah) is generally understood to refer to a unit of money, but the value and/or weight is unknown. The word occurs only here and in Gen 33:19 and Job 42:11.

[24:32]  ⁴⁷ tn Heb “and they became for the sons of Joseph an inheritance.” One might think “bones” is the subject of the verb “they became,” but the verb is masculine, while “bones” is feminine. The translation follows the emendation suggested in the BHS note, which appeals to the Syriac and Vulgate for support. The emended reading understands “the part (of the field)” as the subject of the verb “became.” The emended verb is feminine singular; this agrees with “the part” (of the field), which is feminine in Hebrew.
