[2:9]  1 tn Heb “has given the land to you.” Rahab’s statement uses the Hebrew perfect, suggesting certitude.

[2:9]  2 tn Heb “terror of you has fallen upon us.”

[2:9]  3 tn Or “melting away because of.”

[2:9]  4 tn Both of these statements are actually subordinated to “I know” in the Hebrew text, which reads, “I know that the Lord…and that terror of you…and that all the inhabitants….”

[2:11]  5 tn Heb “And we heard and our heart[s] melted and there remained no longer breath in a man because of you.”
