¹ tn Heb “For you will cause these people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give to them.” The pronoun “them” at the end of the verse refers to either the people or to the fathers.

² tn Heb “took.”

³ 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”).

⁴ tn Heb “and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their allotted portions by their tribes.”

⁵ tn Heb “which he had sworn to give to their fathers.”

⁶ tn Or “possessed.”

⁷ tn Heb “gave them rest all around.”

⁸ tn Heb “according to all he swore to their fathers.”

⁹ tn Heb “not a man stood from before them from all their enemies.”

¹⁰ tn The Hebrew text reads, “from before you.” This has not been included in the translation because it is redundant in English.

¹¹ tn Or “take possession of.”

¹² tn Heb “said to.”

¹³ tn Or “chases a thousand.”

¹⁴ tn Heb “for the Lord your God, he [is] the one who fights for you.”

¹⁵ tn Heb “as he said to you.”
