Joshua 17:4

1 tn Heb “Joshua, son of Nun, sent from Shittim two men, spies, secretly, saying.”

3 tn Heb “they went and entered the house of a woman, a prostitute, and her name was Rahab, and they slept there.”

4 tn Heb “These are [the lands] which the sons of Israel received as an inheritance in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes assigned as an inheritance to the sons of Israel.”

5 tn Heb “The Lord commanded Moses to assign to us an inheritance in the midst of our brothers.” Since Zelophehad had no sons, “brothers” must refer to their uncles, as the next sentence makes clear.

6 tn Heb “he.” The referent is probably Joshua, although Eleazar is mentioned first in the preceding list.

7 tn Heb “and he assigned to them in accordance with the mouth [i.e., command] of the Lord an inheritance in the midst of the brothers of their father.”
