---

¹ tn Or “dedicated to the Lord.”

sn To make the city set apart for the Lord would involve annihilating all the people and animals and placing its riches in the Lord’s treasury (vv. 19, 21, 24).

² tn Heb “messengers.”

³ tn Or “trouble.” The word is “achor” in Hebrew (also in the following clause).

⁴ tc Heb “and they burned them with fire and they stoned them with stones.” These words are somewhat parenthetical in nature and are omitted in the LXX; they may represent a later scribal addition.

⁵ tn Or “caused to panic.”

⁶ tn Heb “he.” The referent is probably Israel (mentioned at the end of the previous sentence in the verse; cf. NIV, NRSV), but it is also possible that the Lord should be understood as the referent (cf. NASB “and He slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon”), or even Joshua (cf. NEB “and Joshua defeated them utterly in Gibeon”).

⁷ tn Heb “struck them down with a great striking down.”

⁸ tn Or “ascent.”

⁹ tn Heb “he”; the implied subject may be Israel, or Joshua (as the commanding general of the army).

¹⁰ tn Heb “he”; the implied subject may be Israel, or Joshua (as the commanding general of the army).

¹¹ tn Heb “He”; the implied subject may be Israel, or Joshua (as the commanding general of the army).

¹² tn Heb “he”; the implied subject may be Israel, or Joshua (as the commanding general of the army).

¹³ map For location see Map5-B2; Map6-E1; Map7-E1; Map8-E3; Map10-A2; Map11-A1.

¹⁴ tn Or “foothills”; Heb “the Shephelah.”

¹⁵ tn Heb “burn with fire”; the words “with fire” are redundant in English and have not been included in the translation.

¹⁶ map For location see Map1-A1; JP3-F3; JP4-F3.

¹⁷ tn The meaning of the Hebrew name “Misrephoth Maim” is perhaps “lime-kilns by the water” (see HALOT 2:641).

¹⁸ tn Heb “took.”

¹⁹ tn Heb “according to all which the Lord said to Moses.” The translation assumes this refers to the promise of the land (see 1:3). Another possibility is that it refers to the Lord’s instructions, in which case the phrase could be translated, “just as the Lord had instructed Moses” (so NLT; cf. also NIV “had directed Moses”).

²⁰ tn Heb “and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their allotted portions by their tribes.”

²¹ 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.

²² tn Heb “Why have you given me as an inheritance one lot and one portion, though I am a great people until [the time] which, until now the Lord has blessed me?” The construction עַד אֲשֶׁר־עַד־כֹּה (’ad-’asher-’ad-koh, “until [the time] which, until now”) is extremely awkward. An emendation of the first עַד (’ad) to עַל (’al) yields a more likely reading: “for until now” (see HALOT 2:787).

²³ tn Heb “the leaders of the fathers of the tribes.”

²⁴ tn Heb “at the entrance of the tent of assembly.”

sn On the tent of meeting see Exod 33:7-11.
