tn Heb “Surely the Lord has given into our hand all the land.” The report by the spies uses the Hebrew perfect, suggesting certitude.

tn Heb “are melting away because of us.”

tn Heb “took.”

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”).

tn Heb “and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their allotted portions by their tribes.”

tn Or “assigned an inheritance.”

tn Or “no inheritance.”

tn The Hebrew text adds, “in their midst.”
