New English Translation
Joshua 23:2-4
New English Translation
2 So Joshua summoned all Israel, including the elders, rulers, judges, and leaders, and told them: “I am very old. 3 You saw everything the Lord your God did to all these nations on your behalf, for the Lord your God fights for you.[a] 4 See, I have parceled out to your tribes these remaining nations,[b] from the Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea[c] in the west, including all the nations I defeated.[d]

- Joshua 23:3 tn Heb “for the Lord your God, he [is] the one who fights for you.”
- Joshua 23:4 tn Heb “I have assigned by lots to you these remaining nations as an inheritance for your tribes.”
- Joshua 23:4 tn Heb “the Great Sea,” the typical designation for the Mediterranean Sea.
- Joshua 23:4 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.
