Joshua 3:4

3:4 But stay about three thousand feet behind it. ¹  Keep your distance ²  so you can see ³  which way you should go, for you have not traveled this way before.”

Joshua 17:4

17:4 They went before Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders and said, “The Lord told Moses to assign us land among our relatives.” ⁴  So Joshua ⁵  assigned them land among their uncles, as the Lord had commanded. ⁶ 

[3:4]  ¹ tn Heb “But there should be a distance between you and it, about two thousand cubits in measurement.”

[3:4]  ² tn Heb “do not approach it.”

[3:4]  ³ tn Heb “know.”

[17:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “The Lord commanded Moses to assign to us an inheritance in the midst of our brothers.” Since Zelophehad had no sons, “brothers” must refer to their uncles, as the next sentence makes clear.

[17:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “he.” The referent is probably Joshua, although Eleazar is mentioned first in the preceding list.

[17:4]  ⁶ tn Heb “and he assigned to them in accordance with the mouth [i.e., command] of the Lord an inheritance in the midst of the brothers of their father.”
