¹ tn Heb “said.”

² tn Heb “But [as for] you, don’t stand still, chase after your enemies and attack them from the rear.”

³ tn Or “enter into.”

⁷ tn Heb “will belong to you for an inheritance, and to your sons forever.”

⁸ tn Heb “with.”

⁹ tn Heb “and in the name of their gods you must not invoke and you must not make solemn declarations.” The words “and you must not make solemn declarations” are omitted in the LXX and may represent a later scribal addition to elucidate the immediately preceding command. The Hiphil of שָׁבַע (shava’) without an object occurs only here and in Josh 6:26.
