¹ tn Heb “the edge of the waters of the Jordan.” The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied for clarity.

² tn Heb “stand in the Jordan.” Here the repetition of the word “Jordan” would be redundant according to contemporary English style, so it was not included in the translation.

³ tn Or “Lord”; or “Master.”

⁴ tn The verb, though not in the Hebrew, is added for clarification.
