[3:19]  ¹ tn Or “returned” (i.e., to Eglon’s palace).

[3:19]  ² tn The words “when he reached” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The Hebrew text simply reads “from.”

[3:19]  ³ tn Or “idols.”

[3:19]  ⁴ tn The words “to Eglon” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[3:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Eglon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:19]  ⁶ tn Or “Hush!”

[17:4]  ⁷ tn Heb “his mother.” The pronoun (“she”) has been substituted for the noun (“mother”) in the translation because of English style.

[17:4]  ⁸ tn The Hebrew text has “and gave it.” The referent (the pieces of silver) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[17:4]  ⁹ tn Heb “and it was in Micah’s house.”

[18:17]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “went up, went in there, took.”

[18:17]  ¹¹ tn Heb “six hundred men, equipped with the weapons of war.”

[18:30]  ¹² tn Heb “erected for themselves.”

[18:30]  ¹³ tn Heb “son.”

[18:30]  ¹⁴ tc Several ancient textual witnesses, including some LXX mss and the Vulgate, support the reading “Moses” (מֹשֶׁה, mosheh) here. Many Hebrew mss have a nun (נ) suspended above the name between the first two letters (מנשׁה), suggesting the name Manasseh (מְנַשֶּׁה, mÿnasheh). This is probably a scribal attempt to protect Moses’ reputation. For discussion, see G. F. Moore, Judges (ICC), 401-2.

[18:30]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “sons.”
