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 “And Joshua and all the people of war arose to go up [against] Ai.”

⁴ tn Some Hebrew mss read, “spent the night in.”

⁵ tn Heb “all the people returned to the camp, to Joshua [at] Makkedah [in] peace.”

⁶ tc Heb “No man.” The lamed (ל) prefixed to אִישׁ (’ish, “man”) is probably dittographic (note the immediately preceding יִשְׂרָאֵל [isra’el] which ends in lamed, ל); cf. the LXX.

⁷ tn Heb “no man sharpened [or perhaps, “pointed”] his tongue against the sons of Israel.” Cf. NEB “not a man of the Israelites suffered so much as a scratch on his tongue,” which understands “sharpened” as “scratched” (referring to a minor wound). Most modern translations understand the Hebrew expression “sharpened his tongue” figuratively for opposition or threats against the Israelites.

⁸ tn Heb “he”; the implied subject may be Israel, or Joshua (as the commanding general of the army).

⁹ tn Heb “he”; the implied subject may be Israel, or Joshua (as the commanding general of the army).

¹⁰ tn Heb “he”; the implied subject may be Israel, or Joshua (as the commanding general of the army).

¹¹ tn The words “their territory started” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

¹² tn Heb “This was the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin by its borders round about, by their clans.”
