Footnotes
- 7 Heb “And I also said.” The use of the perfect tense here suggests that the messenger is recalling an earlier statement (see Josh 23:12–13). However, some translate, “And I also say,” understanding the following words as an announcement of judgment upon those gathered at Bokim.
- 8 The words “If you disobey” are supplied in the translation for clarity. See Josh 23:12–13.
- 9 Heb “them”; the referent (the Canaanites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 10 The meaning of the Hebrew word צִדִּים (tsiddim) is uncertain in this context. It may be related to an Akkadian cognate meaning “snare.” If so, a more literal translation would be “they will become snares to you.” Normally the term in question means “sides,” but this makes no sense here. On the basis of Num 33:55 some suggest the word for “thorns” has been accidentally omitted. If this word is added, the text would read, “they will become [thorns] in your sides” (cf. , , ).
- 11 Heb “their gods will become a snare to you.”
