[2:22]  ¹ tn Heb “they went and came.”

[2:22]  ² tn Heb “the pursuers.” The object (“them”) is added for clarification.

[2:22]  ³ tn Heb “the ones chasing them.” This has been rendered as “their pursuers” in the translation to avoid redundancy with the preceding clause.

[2:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “The pursuers looked in all the way and did not find [them].”

[3:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “And Joshua arose early in the morning and he and the Israelites left Shittim and came to the Jordan.”

[3:1]  ⁶ tn The words “the river,” though not in the Hebrew text, have been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[5:9]  ⁹ tn Heb “rolled away.”

[5:9]  ¹⁰ sn One might take the disgrace of Egypt as a reference to their uncircumcised condition (see Gen 34:14), but the generation that left Egypt was circumcised (see v. 5). It more likely refers to the disgrace they experienced in Egyptian slavery. When this new generation reached the promised land and renewed their covenantal commitment to the Lord by submitting to the rite of circumcision, the Lord’s deliverance of his people from slavery, which had begun with the plagues and the crossing of the Red Sea, reached its climax. See T. C. Butler, Joshua (WBC), 59.

[5:9]  ¹¹ sn The name Gilgal sounds like the Hebrew verb “roll away” (גַּלַל, galal).

[18:1]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “the tent of assembly.”
