Footnotes

  1. 21 Heb “has given the land to you.” Rahab’s statement uses the Hebrew perfect, suggesting certitude.
  2. 22 Heb “terror of you has fallen upon us.”
  3. 23 Or “melting away because of.”
  4. 24 Both of these statements are actually subordinated to “I know” in the Hebrew text, which reads, “I know that the Lord … and that terror of you … and that all the inhabitants.…”
