¹ tn Or “the place of ambush.”

² map For location see Map4-G4; Map5-C1; Map6-E3; Map7-D1; Map8-G3.

³ tn Heb “and they stayed between Bethel and Ai, west of Ai.”

⁴ tn Heb “in the midst of the people.”

⁵ tn Heb “and to the kings who [are] from the north in.”

⁶ tn Heb “Chinneroth,” a city and plain located in the territory of Naphtali in Galilee (BDB 490 s.v. כִּנֶּרֶת, כִּנֲרוֹת).

sn Kinnereth was a city in Galilee located near the Sea of Galilee (Deut 3:17). The surrounding region also became known by this name (1 Kgs 15:20; cf. Matt 14:34), and eventually even the lake itself (Josh 12:3; cf. Luke 5:1).

⁷ tn The verb “came” is supplied in the translation (see v. 4).

⁸ tn Or “land.”

⁹ tc The MT reads “Judah, the Jordan”; the LXX omits “Judah.” Perhaps there was a town named Judah, distinct from the tribe of Judah, located near the northern end of the Jordan.

¹⁰ tn Heb “I have assigned by lots to you these remaining nations as an inheritance for your tribes.”

¹¹ tn Heb “the Great Sea,” the typical designation for the Mediterranean Sea.

¹² tn Heb “from the Jordan and all the nations which I cut off and the Great Sea [at] the place where the sun sets.” The relationship of the second half of the verse, which mentions nations already conquered, to the first half, which speaks of “remaining nations,” is difficult to understand.
