Footnotes

  1. Joshua 5:10 sn This is the area of the rift valley basin in the vicinity of Jericho (see the note at Josh 4:13).
  2. Joshua 5:11 tn The Hebrew text adds, “on this same day.” This is somewhat redundant in English and has not been translated.
  3. Joshua 5:12 tn Heb “the day after, when they ate.” The present translation assumes this means the day after the Passover, though it is possible it refers to the day after they began eating the land’s produce.
  4. Joshua 5:12 tn Heb “and the sons of Israel had no more manna.”

Since the Israelis no longer received manna, they ate crops from the land of Canaan that year.
