Joshua 24:26
Context24:26 Joshua wrote these words in the Law Scroll of God. He then took a large stone and set it up there under the oak tree near the Lord’s shrine.
1 tn Heb “mouth.”
sn This law scroll must not leave your lips. The ancient practice of reading aloud to oneself as an aid to memorization is in view here.
2 tn Heb “read it in undertones,” or “recite it quietly” (see HALOT 1:237).
3 tn Heb “be careful to do.”
4 tn Heb “you will make your way prosperous.”
5 tn Heb “and be wise,” but the word can mean “be successful” by metonymy.
6 tn Heb “Go.”
7 tn Heb “so that the pursuers might not meet you.”
8 tn Heb “the pursuers.” The object (“you”) is not in the Hebrew text but is implied.
9 tn Heb “and it will be at the sounding of the horn, the ram’s horn, when you hear the sound of the ram’s horn.” The text of Josh 6:5 seems to be unduly repetitive, so for the sake of English style and readability, it is best to streamline the text here. The reading in the Hebrew looks like a conflation of variant readings, with the second (“when you hear the sound of the ram’s horn”) being an interpolation that assimilates the text to verse 20 (“when the army heard the sound of the horn”). Note that the words “when you hear the sound of the ram's horn” do not appear in the LXX of verse 5.
10 tn Heb “all the people will shout with a loud shout.”
11 tn Heb “fall in its place.”
12 tn Heb “and the people will go up, each man straight ahead.”
13 tn Heb “the people.”
14 tn Or “the shout.”
15 tn Heb “do not let a word come out of your mouths.”
16 tn Or “the shout.”
17 tn Or “the shout.”
18 tn Heb “his”; the referent (Zabdi) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
19 tn Heb “by men.”
20 tc Heb “to this day.” The phrase “to this day” is omitted in the LXX and may represent a later scribal addition.
21 tn Or perhaps “and don’t get discouraged!”
22 tn Or “ascent.”
23 tn Heb “these cities belonged to Ephraim in the midst of the cities of Manasseh.”
24 tn Heb “went and passed through.”
25 map For location see Map4 G4; Map5 C1; Map6 E3; Map7 D1; Map8 G3.
26 tn Heb “sons,” here referring to the tribe.
27 tn Or “side.”
28 sn The Salt Sea is another name for the Dead Sea.
29 tn Heb “to the tongue of the Salt Sea to the north, to the end of the Jordan to the south.” The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for clarity (also in the following verse).
30 tn Or “live.”
31 tn Heb “until he stands before the assembly for judgment.”
32 tn Heb “until the death of the high priest who is in those days.”
33 tn Heb “may return and enter his city and his house, the city from which he escaped.”
34 tn Or “took possession of.”
