Joshua 10

Joshua 10:1

31 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.”

32 tn Or “Only.” Here and in v. 17 this word qualifies what precedes (see also v. 7).

Joshua 10:3

1 tn Heb “Joshua, son of Nun, sent from Shittim two men, spies, secretly, saying.”

2 tn Heb “go, see the land, and Jericho.”

map For location see Map5-B2; Map6-E1; Map7-E1; Map8-E3; Map10-A2; Map11-A1.

3 tn Heb “they went and entered the house of a woman, a prostitute, and her name was Rahab, and they slept there.”

Joshua 10:4

4 tn Or “look.”

5 tn Heb “men have come here tonight from the sons of Israel.”

Joshua 10:5

6 tn Heb “and the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying.”

7 tn Heb “bring out.”

8 tn The idiom “come to” (בוֹא אֶל, bo’ ’el) probably has sexual connotations here, as it often does elsewhere when a man “comes to” a woman. If so, the phrase could be translated “your clients.” The instructions reflect Rahab’s perspective as to the identity of the men.

9 tn The words “the ones who came to your house” (Heb “who came to your house”) may be a euphemistic scribal addition designed to blur the sexual connotation of the preceding words.
