7:25 Joshua said, “Why have you brought disaster 1  on us? The Lord will bring disaster on you today!” All Israel stoned him to death. (They also stoned and burned the others.) 2 

Joshua 22:22

22:22 “El, God, the Lord! 3  El, God, the Lord! He knows the truth! 4  Israel must also know! If we have rebelled or disobeyed the Lord, 5  don’t spare us 6  today!

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

2 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.

3 sn Israel’s God is here identified with three names: (1) אֵל (’el), “El” (or “God”); (2) אֱלֹהִים (’elohim), “Elohim” (or “God”), and (3) יְהוָה (yÿhvah), “Yahweh” (or “the Lord”). The name אֵל (’el, “El”) is often compounded with titles, for example, El Elyon, “God Most High.”

4 tn Heb “he knows.”

5 tn Heb “if in rebellion or if in unfaithfulness against the Lord.”

6 tn Heb “do not save us.” The verb form is singular, being addressed to either collective Israel or the Lord himself. The LXX translates in the third person.
