1 tn Heb “listened to.”
2 tn Or “Only.” Here and in v. 18 this word qualifies what precedes (see also v. 7).
3 tn Heb “Surely the Lord has given into our hand all the land.” The report by the spies uses the Hebrew perfect, suggesting certitude.
4 tn Heb “are melting away because of us.”
5 tn Heb “in the presence of the people.”
6 tn Heb “feared.”
7 tn Heb “all the days of his life.”
8 tn Heb “had feared.”
9 tn Heb “rolled away.”
10 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.
11 sn The name Gilgal sounds like the Hebrew verb “roll away” (גַּלַל, galal).
12 tn An alternative reading is “and they said.” In this case the subject is indefinite and the verb should be translated as passive, “[the army] was told.”
13 tn Heb “the people.”
14 tn Heb “pass by.”
15 tn Heb “and he made the ark of the Lord go around the city, encircling one time.”
16 tn Heb “and they entered the camp and spent the night in the camp.”
17 tn Heb “said.”
18 tn Heb “poured out,” probably referring to the way the silver pieces poured out of their container.
19 tn Heb “from the ambush.”
20 tn Heb “take possession of.”
21 tn Heb “according to the word of the Lord which he commanded Joshua.”
22 tn Heb “I have given them into your hand.” The verbal form is a perfect of certitude, emphasizing the certainty of the action.
23 tn Heb “and not a man [or “one”] of them will stand before you.”
24 tn Heb “and he struck them down with the edge of the sword, he annihilated them.”
25 tn Heb “for from the Lord it was to harden their heart[s] to meet for the battle with Israel, in order to annihilate them, so that they would receive no mercy, in order annihilate them, as the Lord commanded Moses.”
26 tn Heb “took.”
27 tn Heb “according to all which the Lord said to Moses.” The translation assumes this refers to the promise of the land (see 1:3). Another possibility is that it refers to the Lord’s instructions, in which case the phrase could be translated, “just as the Lord had instructed Moses” (so NLT; cf. also NIV “had directed Moses”).
28 tn Heb “and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their allotted portions by their tribes.”
29 tn Heb “was old, coming into the days.” This expression, referring to advancing in years, also occurs in the following clause.
30 tn The MT reads “with him,” which is problematic, since the reference would be to the other half of the tribe of Manasseh (not the half mentioned in v. 7).
31 tn Heb “received their inheritance, which Moses had assigned to them beyond the Jordan.”
32 tn Heb “Moses did not assign an inheritance.” The word “land” has been supplied in the translation to clarify what the inheritance consisted of.
33 tn That is, “their source of food and life.”
34 tn Or “as he promised”; Heb “as he spoke to.”
sn For the background of this observation, see Deut 18:1-2.
35 tn Heb “By lot was their inheritance, as the Lord had commanded by Moses, to the nine tribes and the half-tribe.”
36 tn Heb “Therefore Hebron belongs to Caleb son of Jephunneh for an inheritance to this day.”
37 tn Heb “How long are you putting off entering and possessing.”
38 tn Or “fathers.”
39 tn Heb “which he had sworn to give to their fathers.”
40 tn Or “possessed.”
41 tn Heb “gave them rest all around.”
42 tn Heb “according to all he swore to their fathers.”
43 tn Heb “not a man stood from before them from all their enemies.”
44 tn Heb “the house of Israel.” Cf. NCV “the Israelites”; TEV “the people of Israel”; CEV, NLT “Israel.”
45 tn Heb “not a word from all the good word which the Lord spoke to the house of Israel fell; the whole came to pass.”
46 tn Heb “You have kept all which Moses, the Lord’s servant, commanded you, and you have listened to my voice, to all which I commanded you.”
47 tn Heb “your brothers” (also in vv. 4, 7), but this does not refer to siblings or necessarily even to relatives. It refers to the Israelites of the remaining tribes.
48 tn Heb “these many days.”
49 tn Heb “you have kept the charge of the command of the Lord your God.”
50 tn Heb “not a man has stood before you.”
51 tn Or “chases a thousand.”
52 tn Heb “for the Lord your God, he [is] the one who fights for you.”
53 tn Heb “as he said to you.”
54 tn Heb “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen for yourselves the Lord to serve him.”
55 sn Like witnesses in a court of law, Israel’s solemn vow to worship the Lord will testify against them in the divine court if the nation ever violates its commitment.
