1 tn Heb “Is it not written down in the Scroll of the Upright One.” Many modern translations render, “the Scroll [or Book] of Jashar,” leaving the Hebrew name “Jashar” (which means “Upright One”) untranslated.

sn The Scroll of the Upright One was apparently an ancient Israelite collection of songs and prayers (see also 2 Sam 1:18).

2 tn Heb “and did not hurry to set [for] about a full day.”

3 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.”

4 tn Or perhaps, “reigned.”

5 tc The MT reads here, “and the middle of the valley,” but the reading “the city in the middle of valley” can be reconstructed on the basis of Josh 13:9, 16.

8 tn Heb “will belong to you for an inheritance, and to your sons forever.”

9 tn Heb “return to your tents with.”

10 tn Heb “very many cattle.”

11 tn Heb “very much clothing.”
