Joshua 8:1-2

Israel Conquers Ai

8:1 The Lord told Joshua, “Don’t be afraid and don’t panic! ⁵  Take the whole army with you and march against Ai! ⁶  See, I am handing over to you ⁷  the king of Ai, along with his people, city, and land. 8:2 Do to Ai and its king what you did to Jericho ⁸  and its king, except you may plunder its goods and cattle. Set an ambush behind the city!”

Joshua 1:1

The Lord Commissions Joshua

1:1 After Moses the Lord’s servant died, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant:

[34:8]  ¹ tn Or “to the entrance to Hamath.”

[13:5]  ² tn Heb “and the land of the Gebalites.”

[13:5]  ³ tn Or “the entrance to Hamath.” Most modern translations take the phrase “Lebo Hamath” to be a proper name, but often provide a note with the alternative, where “Hamath” is the proper name and לְבוֹא (lÿvo’) is taken to mean “entrance to.”

[13:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “was old, coming into the days.” This expression, referring to advancing in years, also occurs in the following clause.

[8:1]  ⁵ tn Or perhaps “and don’t get discouraged!”

[8:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “Take with you all the people of war and arise, go up against Ai!”

[8:1]  ⁷ 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.
