¹ tn Heb “and to the kings who [are] from the north in.”

² tn Heb “Chinneroth,” a city and plain located in the territory of Naphtali in Galilee (BDB 490 s.v. כִּנֶּרֶת, כִּנֲרוֹת).

sn Kinnereth was a city in Galilee located near the Sea of Galilee (Deut 3:17). The surrounding region also became known by this name (1 Kgs 15:20; cf. Matt 14:34), and eventually even the lake itself (Josh 12:3; cf. Luke 5:1).

³ tn Or “from Teman.” The phrase is especially problematic if taken with what follows, as the traditional verse division suggests. For further discussion see T. C. Butler, Joshua (WBC), 146.

⁴ tn Heb “all the land of the Canaanites.”

⁵ tc The reading “Arah” assumes a slight emendation of the Hebrew vowel pointing. The MT reads, “and a cave,” or “and Mearah” (if one understands the word as a proper noun).

⁶ tn Heb “which belongs to the Sidonians.”

map For location see Map1-A1; JP3-F3; JP4-F3.

⁷ tn Heb “was.”

⁸ tn Heb “in front of”; perhaps “east of.”

⁹ tn Heb “portions.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “stand.”

¹¹ tn Heb “the house.”

¹² tc The MT reads “Judah, the Jordan”; the LXX omits “Judah.” Perhaps there was a town named Judah, distinct from the tribe of Judah, located near the northern end of the Jordan.
