A Summary of Israel’s Victories
11:16Joshua conquered the whole land,23 including the hill country, all the Negev, all the land of Goshen, the lowlands,24 the Arabah, the hill country of Israel and its lowlands, 11:17from Mount Halak on up to Seir, as far as Baal Gad in the Lebanon Valley below Mount Hermon. He captured all their kings and executed them.2511:18Joshua campaigned against26 these kings for quite some time.2711:19No city made peace with the Israelites (except the Hivites living in Gibeon);28 they had to conquer all of them,2911:20for the Lord determined to make them obstinate so they would attack Israel. He wanted Israel to annihilate them without mercy, as he had instructed Moses.30
11:21At that time Joshua attacked and eliminated the Anakites from the hill country31—from Hebron, Debir, Anab, and all the hill country of Judah and Israel.32 Joshua annihilated them and their cities. 11:22No Anakites were left in Israelite territory, though some remained in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod. 11:23Joshua conquered33 the whole land, just as the Lord had promised Moses,34 and he assigned Israel their tribal portions.35 Then the land was free of war.
Footnotes
- 23 Heb “Joshua took all this land.”
- 24 Or “foothills”; Heb “the Shephelah.”
- 25 Heb “and struck them down and killed them.”
- 26 Heb “made war with.”
- 27 Heb “for many days.”
- 28 The omits this parenthetical note, which may represent a later scribal addition.
- 29 Heb “the whole they took in battle.”
- 30 Heb “for from the Lord it was to harden their heart[s] to meet for the battle with Israel, in order to annihilate them, so that they would receive no mercy, in order annihilate them, as the Lord commanded Moses.”
- 31 Heb “went and cut off the Anakites from the hill country.”
- 32 Heb “and from all the hill country of Israel.”
- 33 Heb “took.”
- 34 Heb “according to all which the Lord said to Moses.” The translation assumes this refers to the promise of the land (see 1:3). Another possibility is that it refers to the Lord’s instructions, in which case the phrase could be translated, “just as the Lord had instructed Moses” (so ; cf. also “had directed Moses”).
- 35 Heb “and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their allotted portions by their tribes.”
