1. Joshua 13:1 tn Heb “was old, coming into the days.” This expression, referring to advancing in years, also occurs in the following clause.

3. Joshua 13:3 tn Heb “in front of.”
4. Joshua 13:3 tn Heb “it is reckoned to the Canaanites.”
5. Joshua 13:3 tn Heb “the five lords of the Philistines, the Gazaite, the Ashdodite, the Ashkelonite, the Gathite, and the Ekronite, and the Avvites.”
6. Joshua 13:4 tn Or “from Teman.” The phrase is especially problematic if taken with what follows, as the traditional verse division suggests. For further discussion see T. C. Butler, Joshua (WBC), 146.
7. Joshua 13:4 tn Heb “all the land of the Canaanites.”
8. Joshua 13:4 tc The reading “Arah” assumes a slight emendation of the Hebrew vowel pointing. The MT reads, “and a cave,” or “and Mearah” (if one understands the word as a proper noun).
9. Joshua 13:4 tn Heb “which belongs to the Sidonians.”
10. Joshua 13:5 tn Heb “and the land of the Gebalites.”

12. Joshua 13:6 tn The meaning of the Hebrew name “Misrephoth Maim” is perhaps “lime-kilns by the water” (see HALOT 641 s.v. מִשְׂרָפוֹת).
