[7:9]  ¹ tn Heb “and cut off our name.”

[7:9]  ² tn Heb “What will you do for your great name?”

[15:15]  ³ tn Heb “he went up against the inhabitants of Debir.”

[5:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “rolled away.”

[5:9]  ⁶ sn One might take the disgrace of Egypt as a reference to their uncircumcised condition (see Gen 34:14), but the generation that left Egypt was circumcised (see v. 5). It more likely refers to the disgrace they experienced in Egyptian slavery. When this new generation reached the promised land and renewed their covenantal commitment to the Lord by submitting to the rite of circumcision, the Lord’s deliverance of his people from slavery, which had begun with the plagues and the crossing of the Red Sea, reached its climax. See T. C. Butler, Joshua (WBC), 59.

[2:1]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “they went and entered the house of a woman, a prostitute, and her name was Rahab, and they slept there.”

[7:26]  ¹⁵ tc Heb “to this day.” The phrase “to this day” is omitted in the LXX and may represent a later scribal addition.

[19:47]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “the territory of the sons of Dan went out from them.”
