¹ tn Heb “And the gate was to be shut in the darkness and the men went out.”

² tn Heb “has given the land to you.” Rahab’s statement uses the Hebrew perfect, suggesting certitude.

³ tn Heb “terror of you has fallen upon us.”

⁴ tn Or “melting away because of.”

⁵ tn Both of these statements are actually subordinated to “I know” in the Hebrew text, which reads, “I know that the Lord…and that terror of you…and that all the inhabitants….”

⁶ tn Or more literally, “to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel.”

⁷ tn Heb “said.”

⁸ tn Heb “You know the word which the Lord spoke to Moses, the man of God, because of me and because of you in Kadesh Barnea.”

sn On this incident at Kadesh Barnea see Num 14:30.

⁹ sn Israel’s God is here identified with three names: (1) אֵל (’el), “El” (or “God”); (2) אֱלֹהִים (’elohim), “Elohim” (or “God”), and (3) יְהוָה (yÿhvah), “Yahweh” (or “the Lord”). The name אֵל (’el, “El”) is often compounded with titles, for example, El Elyon, “God Most High.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “he knows.”

¹¹ tn Heb “if in rebellion or if in unfaithfulness against the Lord.”

¹² tn Heb “do not save us.” The verb form is singular, being addressed to either collective Israel or the Lord himself. The LXX translates in the third person.
