Joshua 9:14

9:14 The men examined ¹  some of their provisions, but they failed to ask the Lord’s advice. ² 

Joshua 15:17

15:17 When Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s brother, ³  captured it, Caleb ⁴  gave Acsah his daughter to him as a wife.

[9:14]  ¹ tn Heb “took.” This probably means they tasted some of the food to make sure it was stale.

[9:14]  ² tn Heb “but they did not ask the mouth of the Lord.” This refers to seeking the Lord’s will and guidance through an oracle.

[15:17]  ³ tn “Caleb’s brother” may refer either to Othniel or to Kenaz. If Kenaz was the brother of Caleb, Othniel is Caleb’s nephew.

[15:17]  ⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Caleb) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
