Hakim-hakim 9:37
Konteks9:37 Gaal again said, “Look, men are coming down from the very center 4 of the land. A unit 5 is coming by way of the Oak Tree of the Diviners.” 6
[8:24] 1 tn Heb “said to them.”
[8:24] 2 tn Heb “Give to me, each one, an earring from his plunder.”
[8:24] 3 tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Midianites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[9:37] 4 tn Heb “navel.” On the background of the Hebrew expression “the navel of the land,” see R. G. Boling, Judges (AB), 178-79.
[9:37] 6 tn Some English translations simply transliterated this as a place name (Heb “Elon-meonenim”); cf. NAB, NRSV.
