Paragraph 10:34–35

10:34a

So Joshua moved on from Lachish to Eglon, and all Israel with him: The clause Joshua moved on from Lachish to Eglon, and all Israel with him has similar wording as 10:31a. The town of Eglon was about 16 kilometers west of Lachish. It is possible to translate this clause in the same way as 10:31a. In languages where a repetitious style is not natural, it may be possible to vary the wording a little bit.

10:34b

They laid siege to it and fought against it: The clause They laid siege to it and fought against it is the same as the clause in 10:31b. It is recommended that you translate it the same way.
