[2:17]  ¹ tn Heb “We are free from this oath of yours which you made us swear.” The words “unless the following conditions are met” are not in the Hebrew text, but are added for clarification.

[4:13]  ² tn Heb “men equipped for battle.”

[4:13]  ³ tn Heb “for war.”

[4:13]  ⁴ map For location see Map5 B2; Map6 E1; Map7 E1; Map8 E3; Map10 A2; Map11 A1.

[5:3]  ³ tn Or “Gibeath Haaraloth.” This name means “Hill of the Foreskins.” Many modern translations simply give the Hebrew name, although an explanatory note giving the meaning of the name is often included.

[6:7]  ⁴ tn An alternative reading is “and they said.” In this case the subject is indefinite and the verb should be translated as passive, “[the army] was told.”

[6:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “the people.”

[6:7]  ⁶ tn Heb “pass by.”

[7:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “said.”

[7:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “Why are you falling on your face?”

[10:9]  ⁶ tn Heb “Joshua came upon them suddenly, all the night he went up from Gilgal.”

[10:18]  ⁷ tn Heb “and appoint by it men to guard them.”

[11:2]  ⁸ tn Heb “and to the kings who [are] from the north in.”

[11:2]  ⁹ tn Heb “Chinneroth,” a city and plain located in the territory of Naphtali in Galilee (BDB 490 s.v. כִּנֶּרֶת, כִּנֲרוֹת).

[13:22]  ⁹ tn Or “diviner.”

[13:22]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “Balaam son of Beor, the omen-reader, the Israelites killed with the sword, along with their slain ones.”

[15:15]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “he went up against the inhabitants of Debir.”

[16:2]  ¹¹ tn Heb “it”; the referent (the southern border) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:2]  ¹² tn In the Hebrew text the place name “Luz” has the directive ending, indicating that the border went from Bethel to Luz. Elsewhere Luz and Bethel appear to be names for the same site (cf. Judg 1:23), but here they appear to be distinct. Note that the NIV translates “from Bethel (that is, Luz)” here, following the reading of the LXX, εἰς Βαιθηλ Λουζα (eis Baiqhl Louza, “from Bethel [Luz]”).

[24:21]  ¹² tn The translation assumes that כִּי (ki) is emphatic. Another option is to take it as explanatory, “No, for we will….”

[24:21]  ¹³ tn Or “will serve.”

[24:24]  ¹³ tn Or “will serve.”

[24:24]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and listen to his voice.”
