JOS 12:8 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 12:1–24 The kings that Joshua and the Israelites defeated

In this section there is a list of the kings that the Israelites defeated on the east side and the west side of the Jordan River.

Here is another possible section heading:

The kings that the Israelites defeated on both sides of the Jordan River

Paragraph 12:7–24

The kings that the Israelites defeated on the west side of the Jordan River.

12:8a

the hill country, the foothills, the Arabah,

including the mountains, the lowlands to the west, the Jordan Valley,
This land included the central mountains, the western foothills of the central mountains, the valley of the Jordan River,

Verse 12:8a-b lists all the geographical areas of Israel on the west side of the Jordan River.

the hill country: The phrase the hill country indicates the central mountain range on the west side of the Jordan River. This word was used in 9:1 and you should translate it the same way in both places.

the foothills: The phrase the foothills refers to the western side of the central mountain range, between the mountains and the coastal plain. This word was used in 9:1 and you should translate it the same way in both places.

the Arabah: The term Arabah refers to the valley of the Jordan River. This word was used in 8:14 and you should translate it the same way in both places.

12:8b

the slopes, the wilderness, and the Negev—

the mountain slopes, the Judean wilderness, and the Negev.
the eastern slopes of the central mountains, the desert of Judea, and the desert in southern Canaan.

the slopes: The phrase the slopes refers to the steep slopes that go down from the hill country eastward to the Dead Sea. This word was used in 10:40 and you should translate it the same way in both places.

the wilderness: The term wilderness indicates the wilderness of Judah. This is a deserted area that lies between the Judean hill country and the Dead Sea.12:8 Aharoni, p. 41.

Here is another way to translate this phrase:

the Judean wilderness (NLT)

and the Negev: The word Negev indicates the southern wilderness area. This word was used in 10:40 and you should translate it the same way in both places.

General Comment on 12:7b-8c

Verse 12:7b described the land of Israel by naming its northern and southern points. In 12:8a-b the same land is described again by naming its geographical regions. 12:8c describes this land a third time by naming the Canaanite peoples who lived there.

12:8c

the lands of the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites):

This is the land that belonged to the Heth people, the Amor people, the Canaan people, the Periz people, the Hiv people, and the Jebus people.
This was the land where the Hitti people, the Amor people, the Canaan people, the Periz people, the Hiw people, and the Yabus people used to live.

the lands of the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites: These are names of peoples who lived in the land of Israel before the Israelites conquered the land. These names occurred in 3:10, but in a different order.

Here is another way to translate this list of peoples:

The people who lived in this region were the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. These are the kings Israel defeated: (NLT)

General Comment on 12:9–24

Verses 12:9–24 is a list of the kings that the Israelites defeated. The BSB translates the words literally according to the Hebrew text. In some languages this may not be natural.

You should translate this list in a way that your language naturally arranges a list. It may be clearer to begin the list with an introduction stating that these are the kings the Israelites defeated. This information was in verse 12:7a and the readers may not make the connection. You can include this introduction at the end of verse 8, as NLT and NCV have done, or at the beginning of verse 9, as GNT has done.

These notes on verses 9–24 include only issues which need explanation.
