So that place is called the Valley of Disaster to this very day.

¹ tn Heb “with what was set apart [to the Lord].”

² tn Heb “burned with fire.”

³ tn Heb “give glory to.”

⁴ tn Or “trouble.” The word is “achor” in Hebrew (also in the following clause).

⁵ 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.

⁶ tc Heb “to this day.” The phrase “to this day” is omitted in the LXX and may represent a later scribal addition.

⁷ tn Or “servants.”

⁸ tn Heb “name.”

⁹ tn Heb “the report about him, all that he did in Egypt.”

¹⁰ 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.

¹¹ tn Heb “and I brought back to him a word just as [was] in my heart.”

¹² tn Heb “she”; the referent (Acsah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹³ tn Heb “him.” The referent of the pronoun could be Othniel, in which case the translation would be, “she incited him [Othniel] to ask her father for a field.” This is problematic, however, for Acsah, not Othniel, makes the request in v. 19. The LXX has “he [Othniel] urged her to ask her father for a field.” This appears to be an attempt to reconcile the apparent inconsistency and probably does not reflect the original text. If Caleb is understood as the referent of the pronoun, the problem disappears. For a fuller discussion of the issue, see P. G. Mosca, “Who Seduced Whom? A Note on Joshua 15:18//Judges 1:14,” CBQ 46 (1984): 18-22. This incident is also recorded in Judg 1:14.

¹⁴ tn Or “served.”

¹⁵ tn Heb “all the days of Joshua and all the days of the elders who outlived him.”

¹⁶ tn Heb “who knew all the work of the Lord which he had done for Israel.”
