[6:3]  ¹³ tn Heb “and go around the city, all [you] men of war, encircling the city one time.” The Hebrew verb וְסַבֹּתֶם (vÿsabbotem, “and go around”) is plural, being addressed to the whole army.

[8:3]  ¹⁶ tn “And Joshua and all the people of war arose to go up [against] Ai.”

[8:11]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “All the people of war who were with him went up and approached and came opposite the city.”

[11:7]  ²² tn Heb “Joshua and all the people of war with him came upon them at the Waters of Merom suddenly and fell upon them.”

[11:19]  ²⁵ tn The LXX omits this parenthetical note, which may represent a later scribal addition.

[8:1]  ³⁵ tn Heb “Take with you all the people of war and arise, go up against Ai!”

[8:1]  ³⁶ tn Heb “I have given into our hand.” The verbal form, a perfect, is probably best understood as a perfect of certitude, indicating the certainty of the action.

[8:14]  ³⁷ tn Heb “When the king of Ai saw, the men of Ai hurried and rose early and went out to meet Israel for battle, he and all his people at the meeting place before the Arabah.”

[11:23]  ⁴³ tn Heb “took.”

[11:23]  ⁴⁴ tn Heb “according to all which the Lord said to Moses.” The translation assumes this refers to the promise of the land (see 1:3). Another possibility is that it refers to the Lord’s instructions, in which case the phrase could be translated, “just as the Lord had instructed Moses” (so NLT; cf. also NIV “had directed Moses”).
