¹ tn Heb “remember the word which Moses, the Lord’s servant, commanded you.”

sn This command can be found in Deut 3:18-20. In vv. 13-15 Joshua paraphrases the command, as the third person reference to Moses in v. 14 indicates.

² tn Heb “is providing rest for you and is giving to you this land.”

sn “This land” refers to the trans-Jordanian lands allotted to these tribes.

³ sn The ark of the covenant refers to the wooden chest that symbolized God’s presence among his covenant people.

⁴ tn Heb “set out from your place.”

⁵ tn Or “march.”

⁶ tn Or “foothills”; Heb “the Shephelah.”

⁷ tn Heb “The Lord commanded Moses to assign to us an inheritance in the midst of our brothers.” Since Zelophehad had no sons, “brothers” must refer to their uncles, as the next sentence makes clear.

⁸ tn Heb “he.” The referent is probably Joshua, although Eleazar is mentioned first in the preceding list.

⁹ tn Heb “and he assigned to them in accordance with the mouth [i.e., command] of the Lord an inheritance in the midst of the brothers of their father.”
