Excerpt from The Variations Between the Hebrew and Greek Texts of Joshua: Chapters 1 12

The attempt is here made to explain the variations between the Hebrew and Greek texts of Joshua 1-12. Both have suffered largely from similar causes, and the recognition and elimination _of faults will enable us to recover the Hebrew text as it existed at the time the Greek translation was made. The section treated is complete in itself. Jos. Serves essentially as an introduction to this section. The historical content is a unit. Chapter 12 is the summary. The Hebrew and the Greek texts vary widely. Aside from the changes which may be attributed to the usual corruption of a text and to the weakness of any translation, there are words and phrases in the Greek which do not appear in the Hebrew; there is a curious juggling of grammatical person and number, sometimes without apparent consistency; and there are many words and phrases, even verses which appear in the Hebrew and are absent from the Greek.
