Joshua 2:23-24
2:23 Then the two men returned – they came down from the hills, crossed the river, 1 came to Joshua son of Nun, and reported to him all they had discovered.
2:24 They told Joshua, “Surely the Lord is handing over all the land to us! 2 All who live in the land are cringing before us!” 3
1 tn The words “the river,” though not in the Hebrew text, are added for clarification.
2 tn Heb “Surely the Lord has given into our hand all the land.” The report by the spies uses the Hebrew perfect, suggesting certitude.
3 tn Heb “are melting away because of us.”
