Joshua 8:10

8:10 Bright and early the next morning Joshua gathered ³  the army, ⁴  and he and the leaders ⁵  of Israel marched ⁶  at the head of it ⁷  to Ai.

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

[3:1]  ² tn The words “the river,” though not in the Hebrew text, have been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[8:10]  ³ tn Or “summoned, mustered.”

[8:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “the people.”

[8:10]  ⁵ tn Or “elders.”

[8:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “went up.”

[8:10]  ⁷ tn Heb “them” (referring to “the people” in the previous clause, which requires a plural pronoun). Since the translation used “army” in the previous clause, a singular pronoun (“it”) is required in English.
