Joshua 8:6

8:6 They will attack ¹  us until we have lured them from the city, for they will say, ‘They are retreating from us like before.’ We will retreat from them.

Joshua 23:5

Joshua 23:9

23:9 “The Lord drove out from before you great and mighty nations; no one has been able to resist you ⁵  to this very day.

Joshua 24:12

24:12 I sent terror ⁶  ahead of you to drive out before you the two ⁷  Amorite kings. I gave you the victory; it was not by your swords or bows. ⁸ 

[8:6]  ¹ tn Heb “come out after.”

[23:5]  ² tn The Hebrew text reads, “from before you.” This has not been included in the translation because it is redundant in English.

[23:5]  ³ tn Or “take possession of.”

[23:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “said to.”

[23:9]  ³ tn Heb “not a man has stood before you.”

[24:12]  ⁴ tn Traditionally, “the hornet” (so KJV, NKJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV) but the precise meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain (cf. NEB “panic”).

[24:12]  ⁵ tn The LXX has “twelve,” apparently understanding this as a reference to Amorite kings west of the Jordan (see Josh 5:1, rather than the trans-Jordanian Amorite kings Sihon and Og (see Josh 2:10; 9:10).

[24:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “and it drove them out from before you, the two kings of the Amorites, not by your sword and not by your bow.” The words “I gave you the victory” are supplied for clarification.
