Footnotes

  1. Joshua 10:27 sn For the legal background of the removal of the corpses before sundown, see Deut 21:22-23.
  2. Joshua 10:27 tn Heb “to this very day.” The words “They remain” are supplied in the translation for clarification.
  3. Joshua 10:29 tn Heb “Libnah.” Repetition of the proper name here would be redundant according to English style, so the pronoun (“it”) has been employed in the translation.
