¹ tn Heb “Get up!”

² tn Heb “this Jordan”; the word “River” has been supplied in the translation for clarity (likewise in v. 11).

³ tc Heb “Cross over this Jordan, you and all these people, to the land that I am giving to them, to the children of Israel.” The final phrase, “to the children of Israel,” is probably a later scribal addition specifying the identity of “these people/them.”

⁴ tn The words “the river,” though not in the Hebrew text, are added for clarification.

⁵ tn Heb “And Joshua arose early in the morning and he and the Israelites left Shittim and came to the Jordan.”

⁶ tn The words “the river,” though not in the Hebrew text, have been supplied in the translation for clarity.

⁷ tn Heb “the edge of the waters of the Jordan.” The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied for clarity.

⁸ tn Heb “stand in the Jordan.” Here the repetition of the word “Jordan” would be redundant according to contemporary English style, so it was not included in the translation.

⁹ tn Heb “This was the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin by its borders round about, by their clans.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “and their border was from Heleph, from the oak of Zaanannim, and Adami Nekeb, and Jabneel to Lakkum.”

¹¹ tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied for clarity.
