[6:5]  ¹ 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]  ² tn Heb “all the people will shout with a loud shout.”

[6:5]  ³ tn Heb “fall in its place.”

[6:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “and the people will go up, each man straight ahead.”

[6:20]  ⁵ 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]  ⁶ tn Heb “the people.”

[6:20]  ⁷ tn Heb “the sound of the horn.”

[6:20]  ⁸ tn Heb “they shouted with a loud shout.”

[6:20]  ⁹ tn Heb “fell in its place.”

[6:20]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and the people went up into the city, each one straight ahead, and they captured the city.”

[7:26]  ⁹ tc Heb “to this day.” The phrase “to this day” is omitted in the LXX and may represent a later scribal addition.

[9:1]  ¹³ tn Heb “When all the kings who were beyond the Jordan heard.”

[9:1]  ¹⁴ tn Or “foothills”; Heb “the Shephelah.”

[9:1]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “all the coast of the Great Sea.” The “Great Sea” was the typical designation for the Mediterranean Sea.

[9:1]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “in front of.”

[10:11]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “on the descent of.”

[10:11]  ¹⁸ tn Or “heaven” (also in v. 13). The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.

[10:27]  ²¹ sn For the legal background of the removal of the corpses before sundown, see Deut 21:22-23.

[10:27]  ²² tn Heb “to this very day.” The words “They remain” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[14:12]  ²⁵ tn Heb “are there and large, fortified cities.”

[14:12]  ²⁶ tn Or “will dispossess.”

[17:17]  ²⁹ tn Heb “house.”

[20:6]  ³³ tn Or “live.”

[20:6]  ³⁴ tn Heb “until he stands before the assembly for judgment.”

[20:6]  ³⁵ tn Heb “until the death of the high priest who is in those days.”

[20:6]  ³⁶ tn Heb “may return and enter his city and his house, the city from which he escaped.”

[22:10]  ³⁷ tn Heb “and they went to Geliloth of the Jordan which is in the land of Canaan, and the sons of Reuben, the sons of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh built there an altar near the Jordan, an altar great with respect to appearance.”

[23:4]  ⁴¹ tn Heb “I have assigned by lots to you these remaining nations as an inheritance for your tribes.”

[23:4]  ⁴² tn Heb “the Great Sea,” the typical designation for the Mediterranean Sea.

[23:4]  ⁴³ tn Heb “from the Jordan and all the nations which I cut off and the Great Sea [at] the place where the sun sets.” The relationship of the second half of the verse, which mentions nations already conquered, to the first half, which speaks of “remaining nations,” is difficult to understand.

[24:17]  ⁴⁵ tn Heb “of the house of slavery.”

[24:17]  ⁴⁶ tn Heb “for the Lord our God, he is the one who brought up us and our fathers from the land of Egypt, from the house of slaves.”

[24:17]  ⁴⁷ tn Or “great signs.”

[24:17]  ⁴⁸ tn Heb “and he guarded us in all the way in which we walked and among all the peoples through whose midst we passed.”
