Joshua 5:6

5:6 Indeed, for forty years the Israelites traveled through the desert until all the men old enough to fight when they left Egypt, the ones who had disobeyed the Lord, died off. ²⁰  For the Lord had sworn a solemn oath to them that he would not let them see the land he had sworn on oath to give them, ²¹  a land rich in ²²  milk and honey.

[24:24]  ¹ tn Or “will serve.”

[24:24]  ² tn Heb “and listen to his voice.”

[10:14]  ³ tn Heb “listened to the voice of.”

[22:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “You have kept all which Moses, the Lord’s servant, commanded you, and you have listened to my voice, to all which I commanded you.”

[6:5]  ⁷ tn Heb “and it will be at the sounding of the horn, the ram’s horn, when you hear the sound of the ram’s horn.” The text of Josh 6:5 seems to be unduly repetitive, so for the sake of English style and readability, it is best to streamline the text here. The reading in the Hebrew looks like a conflation of variant readings, with the second (“when you hear the sound of the ram’s horn”) being an interpolation that assimilates the text to verse 20 (“when the army heard the sound of the horn”). Note that the words “when you hear the sound of the ram's horn” do not appear in the LXX of verse 5.

[6:5]  ⁸ tn Heb “all the people will shout with a loud shout.”

[6:5]  ⁹ tn Heb “fall in its place.”

[6:5]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and the people will go up, each man straight ahead.”

[6:10]  ⁹ tn Heb “the people.”

[6:10]  ¹⁰ tn Or “the shout.”

[6:10]  ¹¹ tn Heb “do not let a word come out of your mouths.”

[6:10]  ¹² tn Or “the shout.”

[6:10]  ¹³ tn Or “the shout.”

[6:20]  ¹¹ tc Heb “and the people shouted and they blew the rams’ horns.” The initial statement (“and the people shouted”) seems premature, since the verse goes on to explain that the battle cry followed the blowing of the horns. The statement has probably been accidentally duplicated from what follows. It is omitted in the LXX.

[6:20]  ¹² tn Heb “the people.”

[6:20]  ¹³ tn Heb “the sound of the horn.”

[6:20]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “they shouted with a loud shout.”

[6:20]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “fell in its place.”

[6:20]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and the people went up into the city, each one straight ahead, and they captured the city.”

[5:6]  ¹³ tn Heb “all the nation, the men of war who went out from Egypt, who did not listen to the voice of the Lord, came to an end.”

[5:6]  ¹⁴ tn Some Hebrew mss, as well as the Syriac version, support this reading. Most ancient witnesses read “us.”

[5:6]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “flowing with.”
