Joshua 6:2

Context
6:2 The Lord told Joshua, “See, I am about to defeat Jericho for you, 1  along with its king and its warriors.

Joshua 8:8

Context
8:8 When you capture the city, set it 2  on fire. Do as the Lord says! See, I have given you orders.” 3 

1 tn Heb “I have given into your hand Jericho.” The Hebrew verb נָתַתִּי (natatti, “I have given”) is probably best understood as a perfect of certitude, indicating the certainty of the action. The Hebrew pronominal suffix “your” is singular, being addressed to Joshua as the leader and representative of the nation. To convey to the modern reader what is about to happen and who is doing it, the translation “I am about to defeat Jericho for you” has been used.

2 tn Heb “the city.”

3 tn Heb “I have commanded you.”
