Judges 3:25

¹ tn Heb “he fell.” The same Hebrew expression occurs two more times in this verse.

² tn Heb “and he lay.

³ tn Or “dead, murdered.”

⁴ tn The words “the doors” are supplied.

⁵ tn Heb “See, their master, fallen to the ground, dead.”

⁷ tn The Hebrew term here translated “master,” is plural. The plural indicates degree here and emphasizes the Levite’s absolute sovereignty over the woman.
