Hakim-hakim 20:38

20:38 The Israelites and the men hiding in ambush had arranged a signal. When the men hiding in ambush ⁴  sent up a smoke signal from the city,

[1:20]  ¹ tn Heb “they gave to Caleb.”

[13:17]  ² tn Heb “Who your name? For [when] your word comes [to pass], we will honor you.” Manoah apparently gets tongue-tied and uses the wrong pronoun (“who” instead of “what”). He starts to say, “Who are you?” But then he switches to “your name” as if he began the sentence with “what.” See R. G. Boling, Judges (AB), 222.

[18:4]  ³ tn Heb “He said to them, ‘Such and such Micah has done for me.’” Though the statement is introduced and presented, at least in part, as a direct quotation (note especially “for me”), the phrase “such and such” appears to be the narrator’s condensed version of what the Levite really said.

[20:38]  ⁴ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the men hiding in ambush) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
