¹ tn The MT reads “with him,” which is problematic, since the reference would be to the other half of the tribe of Manasseh (not the half mentioned in v. 7).

² tn Heb “received their inheritance, which Moses had assigned to them beyond the Jordan.”

³ tn Heb “the river,” referring to the Euphrates. This has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴ tn Or “through.”

⁵ sn Joshua quotes the Lord’s words in vv. 2b-13 (note that the Lord speaks in the first person in these verses); in vv. 14-15 Joshua himself exhorts the people (note the third person references to the Lord).

⁶ tn Heb “fear.”

⁷ tn Or “and serve.”

⁸ tn Heb “your fathers.”

⁹ tn Or “served.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “the river,” referring to the Euphrates. This has been specified in the translation for clarity; see v. 3.
