Discovery BoxJoshua 1:18 
Context1:18 Any man who rebels against what you say and does not obey all your commands will be executed. 1 But 2 be strong and brave!”
Joshua 24:12
Context24:12 I sent terror 3 ahead of you to drive out before you the two 4 Amorite kings. I gave you the victory; it was not by your swords or bows. 5
1 tn Heb “any man who rebels against your mouth and does not listen to your words, to all which you command us, will be put to death.”
2 tn Or “Only.” Here and in v. 17 this word qualifies what precedes (see also v. 7).
3 tn Traditionally, “the hornet” (so KJV, NKJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV) but the precise meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain (cf. NEB “panic”).
4 tn The LXX has “twelve,” apparently understanding this as a reference to Amorite kings west of the Jordan (see Josh 5:1, rather than the trans-Jordanian Amorite kings Sihon and Og (see Josh 2:10; 9:10).
5 tn Heb “and it drove them out from before you, the two kings of the Amorites, not by your sword and not by your bow.” The words “I gave you the victory” are supplied for clarification.
