Joshua 2:13
Context2:13 that you will spare the lives of my father, mother, brothers, sisters, and all who belong to them, and rescue us 1 from death.”
Joshua 9:20-21
Context9:20 We must let them live so we can escape the curse attached to the oath we swore to them.” 2 9:21 The leaders then added, 3 “Let them live.” So they became 4 woodcutters and water carriers for the whole community, as the leaders had decided. 5


[9:20] 2 tn Heb “This is what we will do to them, keeping them alive so there will not be upon us anger concerning the oath which we swore to them.”
[9:21] 3 tc Heb “and the leaders said to them.” The LXX omits the words “and the leaders said to them.”
[9:21] 4 tn The vav (ו) consecutive construction in the Hebrew text suggests that the narrative resumes at this point. The LXX reads here, “and they will be,” understanding what follows to be a continuation of the leaders’ words rather than a comment by the narrator.
