Joshua 22:6

22:6 Joshua rewarded ⁴  them and sent them on their way; they returned to their homes. ⁵

14:13 Joshua asked God to empower Caleb son of Jephunneh and assigned him Hebron. ⁶ 

Joshua 17:14

Joshua 22:33

22:33 The Israelites were satisfied with their report and gave thanks to God. ¹⁰  They said nothing more about launching an attack to destroy the land in which the Reubenites and Gadites lived. ¹¹ 

Joshua 8:33

8:33 All the people, ¹²  rulers, ¹³  leaders, and judges were standing on either side of the ark, in front of the Levitical priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord. Both resident foreigners and native Israelites were there. ¹⁴  Half the people stood in front of Mount Gerizim and the other half in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the Lord’s servant had previously instructed to them to do for the formal blessing ceremony. ¹⁵ 

[24:10]  ¹ tn The infinitive absolute follows the finite verb in the Hebrew text and indicates continuation or repetition of the action. Balaam pronounced several oracles of blessing over Israel (see Num 23-24).

[24:10]  ² tn Heb “blessing.” Balaam’s “blessings” were actually prophecies of how God would prosper Israel.

[24:10]  ³ tn Heb “hand.”

[22:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “blessed.” However, see v. 8, where rewards are given.

[22:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “and they went to their tents.”

[14:13]  ⁷ tn Heb “Joshua blessed him and gave Hebron to Caleb son of Jephunneh as an inheritance.”

[17:14]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “Why have you given me as an inheritance one lot and one portion, though I am a great people until [the time] which, until now the Lord has blessed me?” The construction עַד אֲשֶׁר־עַד־כֹּה (’ad-’asher-’ad-koh, “until [the time] which, until now”) is extremely awkward. An emendation of the first עַד (’ad) to עַל (’al) yields a more likely reading: “for until now” (see HALOT 2:787).

[22:7]  ¹³ tn Heb “to their tents.”

[22:7]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “blessed.”

[22:33]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and the word was good in the eyes of the sons of Israel and the sons of Israel blessed God.”

[22:33]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and they did not speak about going up against them for battle to destroy the land in which the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad were living.”

[8:33]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “All Israel.”

[8:33]  ²⁰ tn Or “elders.”

[8:33]  ²¹ tn Heb “like the resident alien, like the citizen.” The language is idiomatic, meaning that both groups were treated the same, at least in this instance.

[8:33]  ²² tn Heb “as Moses, the Lord’s servant, commanded to bless the people, Israel, formerly.”
