¹ tn Heb “When the king of Ai saw, the men of Ai hurried and rose early and went out to meet Israel for battle, he and all his people at the meeting place before the Arabah.”

² tn Or “know.”

³ tn Heb “that (there was) an ambush for him behind the city.”

⁴ tn Heb “your servants.”

⁵ tn Or “we were very afraid.”

⁶ tn The words “it encompassed” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

⁷ tn Heb “princes of Sihon, inhabitants of the land.”

⁸ tn The Hebrew text reads simply “the cities.” The words “for refuge” are supplied for clarification.

⁹ tn Heb “and not die by the hand of.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “until he stands before the assembly.” The words “at least” are supplied for clarification.

¹¹ tn Heb “one hundred qesitahs.” The Hebrew word קְשִׂיטָה (qesitah) is generally understood to refer to a unit of money, but the value and/or weight is unknown. The word occurs only here and in Gen 33:19 and Job 42:11.

¹² tn Heb “and they became for the sons of Joseph an inheritance.” One might think “bones” is the subject of the verb “they became,” but the verb is masculine, while “bones” is feminine. The translation follows the emendation suggested in the BHS note, which appeals to the Syriac and Vulgate for support. The emended reading understands “the part (of the field)” as the subject of the verb “became.” The emended verb is feminine singular; this agrees with “the part” (of the field), which is feminine in Hebrew.
