Josué 10:21

Ver. 21. All the people returned—in peace— The LXX translate it, safe and sound; the Vulgate, unhurt, and in the same number. That is to say, the detachments, which pursued after the runaways, returned to Joshua without any loss. The next clause Bochart and others translate, there was not a dog that moved his tongue, &c. supplying the word dog, and making the words a kind of proverbial phrase, synonimous to that in Éxodo 11:7 as if the historian had said, that the victory of the Israelites was so complete, and so great their tranquillity after the battle, that even a dog would not have dared to bark against the Hebrews. See Hieroz. p. i. l. ii. c. 55.
