¹tn Heb “has given the land to you.” Rahab’s statement uses the Hebrew perfect, suggesting certitude.

²tn Heb “terror of you has fallen upon us.”

³tn Or “melting away because of.”

⁴tn 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….”

⁵tn Heb “Joshua took all this land.”

⁶tn Or “foothills”; Heb “the Shephelah.”
