1 tn Heb “The woman took the two men and hid him.” The third masculine singular pronominal suffix on “hid” has to be a scribal error (see GKC §135.p).
2 tn Heb “the men came to me.” See the note on this phrase in v. 3.
3 tn Heb “Surely the Lord has given into our hand all the land.” The report by the spies uses the Hebrew perfect, suggesting certitude.
4 tn Heb “are melting away because of us.”
5 tn Heb “And Joshua arose early in the morning and he and the Israelites left Shittim and came to the Jordan.”
6 tn The words “the river,” though not in the Hebrew text, have been supplied in the translation for clarity.
7 tn Or “indeed.”
8 tn Heb “people.”
9 tn Heb “all the people.”
10 tn Heb “their sons he raised up in their place.”
11 tn Heb “the day after, when they ate.” The present translation assumes this means the day after the Passover, though it is possible it refers to the day after they began eating the land’s produce.
12 tn Heb “and the sons of Israel had no more manna.”
13 tn Heb “it is holy to the Lord.”
14 tn Heb “all which was in the city.”
15 tn Heb “said.”
16 tn Heb “poured out,” probably referring to the way the silver pieces poured out of their container.
17 tn Heb “the people.”
18 tn Or “the place of ambush.”
19 map For location see Map4-G4; Map5-C1; Map6-E3; Map7-D1; Map8-G3.
20 tn Heb “and they stayed between Bethel and Ai, west of Ai.”
21 tn Heb “in the midst of the people.”
22 tn Heb “All the people of war who were with him went up and approached and came opposite the city.”
23 tn Heb “and the valley [was] between them and Ai.”
24 tn Or “afterward.”
25 tn Heb “all the bread of their provisions.”
26 tn Or “moldy.”
27 tn Heb “we are your servants.”
28 tc Heb “and the leaders said to them.” The LXX omits the words “and the leaders said to them.”
29 tn The vav (ו) consecutive construction in the Hebrew text suggests that the narrative resumes at this point. The LXX reads here, “and they will be,” understanding what follows to be a continuation of the leaders’ words rather than a comment by the narrator.
30 tn Heb “as the leaders said to them.”
31 tn Heb “They and all their camps with them came out, a people as numerous as the sand which is on the edge of the sea in multitude, and [with] horses and chariots very numerous.”
32 tn Heb “but all the people they struck down with the edge of the sword until they destroyed them.”
33 tn Heb “for from the Lord it was to harden their heart[s] to meet for the battle with Israel, in order to annihilate them, so that they would receive no mercy, in order annihilate them, as the Lord commanded Moses.”
34 tn Heb “and it belonged to the sons of Aaron, from the Kohathite clans, from the sons of Levi.”
35 tn The name “Gath Rimmon” is problematic here, for it appears in the preceding list of Danite cities. The LXX reads “Iebatha”; 1 Chr 6:55 HT (6:70 ET) reads “Bileam.” Most modern translations retain the name “Gath Rimmon,” however.
36 tn Heb “which he had sworn to give to their fathers.”
37 tn Or “possessed.”
38 tn Heb “the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the sons of Manasseh.”
39 tn Heb “it was good in their eyes.”
40 tn Heb “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen for yourselves the Lord to serve him.”
41 sn Like witnesses in a court of law, Israel’s solemn vow to worship the Lord will testify against them in the divine court if the nation ever violates its commitment.
42 tn Heb “in Gibeah of Phinehas, his son, which had been given to him in the hill country of Ephraim.”
