Hakim-hakim 20:27

20:27 The Israelites asked the Lord (for the ark of God’s covenant was there in those days;

[3:29]  ¹ tn Heb “They struck Moab that day – about ten thousand men.”

[4:7]  ² tn Heb “horde”; “multitude.”

[9:45]  ³ tn Or “destroyed.”

[9:45]  ⁴ tn Heb “sowed it with salt.”

[9:45]  sn The spreading of salt over the city was probably a symbolic act designed to place the site under a curse, deprive it of fertility, and prevent any future habitation. The practice is referred to outside the Bible as well. For example, one of the curses in the Aramaic Sefire treaty states concerning Arpad: “May Hadad sow in them salt and weeds, and may it not be mentioned again!” See J. A. Fitzmyer, The Aramaic Inscriptions of Sefire (BibOr), 15, 53. Deut 29:23, Jer 17:6, and Zeph 2:9 associate salt flats or salty regions with infertility and divine judgment.
