¹ sn See Exod 14:19; 23:20.

² tn Heb “the land that I had sworn to your fathers.”

³ tn Or “covenant” (also in the following verse).

⁴ tn Heb “But my lord.”

⁵ tn Heb “all this.”

⁶ tn Heb “saying.”

⁷ tn Or “took”; or “seized.”

⁸ tn Heb “he” (a collective singular).

⁹ tn Heb “from the Arnon to the Jabbok and to the Jordan.” The word “River” has been supplied in the translation with “Arnon” and “Jabbok,” because these are less familiar to modern readers than the Jordan.

¹⁰ tc The translation assumes a singular suffix (“[return] it”); the Hebrew text has a plural suffix (“[return] them”), which, if retained, might refer to the cities of the land.
