¹ tn Heb “all the people returned to the camp, to Joshua [at] Makkedah [in] peace.”

² 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.

³ 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.

⁴ tn Heb “struck them down and killed them.”

⁵ tn Heb “And he was the great man among the Anakites.”

⁷ tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.
