1 tn Heb “Get up!”
2 tn Heb “this Jordan”; the word “River” has been supplied in the translation for clarity (likewise in v. 11).
3 tc Heb “Cross over this Jordan, you and all these people, to the land that I am giving to them, to the children of Israel.” The final phrase, “to the children of Israel,” is probably a later scribal addition specifying the identity of “these people/them.”
4 tn Heb “For you will cause these people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give to them.” The pronoun “them” at the end of the verse refers to either the people or to the fathers.
5 tn Heb “The woman took the two men and hid him.” The third masculine singular pronominal suffix on “hid” has to be a scribal error (see GKC §135.p).
6 tn Heb “the men came to me.” See the note on this phrase in v. 3.
7 tn Heb “According to your words, so it [will be].”
8 tn Heb “she sent them away and they went.”
9 tn Heb “said.”
10 tn Heb “They and all their camps with them came out, a people as numerous as the sand which is on the edge of the sea in multitude, and [with] horses and chariots very numerous.”

12 tn Or “formerly.”
13 tn Heb “and he struck them down with the edge of the sword, he annihilated them.”
14 tn Heb “but all the people they struck down with the edge of the sword until they destroyed them.”
15 tn Heb “This is the inheritance of the sons of Reuben by their clans, the cities and their towns.”
16 tn Heb “and the cities were at the end of the tribe of the sons of Judah, at the border of Edom, to the south.”
17 tn Heb “This was the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin by its borders round about, by their clans.”
18 tn Heb “so that the one who kills, taking life accidentally without knowledge, may flee there.”
19 tn Heb “for the
20 tn Heb “I have assigned by lots to you these remaining nations as an inheritance for your tribes.”
21 tn Heb “the Great Sea,” the typical designation for the Mediterranean Sea.
22 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.
23 tn Heb “and hug.”
24 tn Heb “the remnant of the these nations, these nations that are with you.”
25 tn Heb “and go into them, and they into you.”
