Joshua 7:13

7:13 Get up! Ritually consecrate the people and tell them this: ‘Ritually consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, because the Lord God of Israel says, “You are contaminated, 1  O Israel! You will not be able to stand before your enemies until you remove what is contaminating you.” 2 

Joshua 10:13

10:13 The sun stood still and the moon stood motionless while the nation took vengeance on its enemies. The event is recorded in the Scroll of the Upright One. 3  The sun stood motionless in the middle of the sky and did not set for about a full day. 4 

1 tn Heb “what is set apart [to destruction by the Lord] [is] in your midst.”

2 tn Heb “remove what is set apart [i.e., to destruction by the Lord] from your midst.”

3 tn Heb “Is it not written down in the Scroll of the Upright One.” Many modern translations render, “the Scroll [or Book] of Jashar,” leaving the Hebrew name “Jashar” (which means “Upright One”) untranslated.

sn The Scroll of the Upright One was apparently an ancient Israelite collection of songs and prayers (see also 2 Sam 1:18).

4 tn Heb “and did not hurry to set [for] about a full day.”
