Footnotes

  1. 44 Heb “he.” Since the pronoun could be taken to refer to Moses, the referent has been specified as “the Lord” in the translation for clarity. See also the note on the word “you” later in this verse.
  2. 45 The reads, “as the Lord promised them, and he will be with you.” This relieves the problem of Moses apparently promising to be with Joshua as the reads on the surface (“I will be with you”). However, the reading of the is clearly an attempt to clarify an existing obscurity and therefore is unlikely to reflect the original.
