1 tn Heb “Surely the Lord has given into our hand all the land.” The report by the spies uses the Hebrew perfect, suggesting certitude.
2 tn Heb “are melting away because of us.”
3 tn Heb “took.”
4 tn Heb “according to all which the Lord said to Moses.” The translation assumes this refers to the promise of the land (see 1:3). Another possibility is that it refers to the Lord’s instructions, in which case the phrase could be translated, “just as the Lord had instructed Moses” (so NLT; cf. also NIV “had directed Moses”).
5 tn Heb “and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their allotted portions by their tribes.”
6 tn Or “assigned an inheritance.”
7 tn Or “no inheritance.”
8 tn The Hebrew text adds, “in their midst.”
