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 “their sons he raised up in their place.”

⁴ tn Heb “On the seventh day they rose early, when the dawn ascended.”

⁵ tn Heb “and they went around the city according to this manner seven times, only on that day they went around the city seven times.”

⁶ tn Heb “All the people of war who were with him went up and approached and came opposite the city.”

⁷ tn Heb “and the valley [was] between them and Ai.”

⁸ tc The LXX omits the words “or Bethel.”

⁹ tn Heb “who did not go out after Israel.”

¹⁰ tc Heb “and they went and [?].” The root and meaning of the verb form יִצְטַיָּרוּ (yitstayyaru) are uncertain. The form is most likely a corruption of יִצְטַיָּדוּ (yitstayyadu), read by some Hebrew mss and ancient versions, from the root צוּד (tsud, “take provisions,” BDB 845 s.v. II צוד) which also occurs in v. 11. Note NRSV “they went and prepared provisions”; cf. NEB “They went and disguised themselves”; NIV “they went as a delegation.”

¹¹ tn Heb “At the end of three days, after they made the treaty with them, they heard that they were neighbors to them and in their midst they were living.”

¹² tn This statement is subordinated to v. 1 in the Hebrew text, which reads literally, “When Adoni-Zedek…they feared greatly.” The subject of the plural verb at the beginning of v. 2 is probably the residents of Jerusalem.

¹³ 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.”

¹⁴ tn Heb “By lot was their inheritance, as the Lord had commanded by Moses, to the nine tribes and the half-tribe.”

¹⁵ tn Heb “and the cities were at the end of the tribe of the sons of Judah, at the border of Edom, to the south.”

¹⁷ sn The statement to this very day reflects the perspective of the author, who must have written prior to David’s conquest of the Jebusites (see 2 Sam 5:6-7).

¹⁸ tn Heb “and the cities set apart for the sons of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh, all the cities and their towns.”
