Hakim-hakim 11:38

11:38 He said, “You may go.” He permitted her to leave ¹  for two months. She went with her friends and mourned her virginity as she walked through the hills. ² 

Hakim-hakim 21:17

21:17 The ³  remnant of Benjamin must be preserved. An entire Israelite tribe should not be wiped out. ⁴ 

[11:38]  ¹ tn Heb “he sent her.”

[11:38]  ² tn Heb “on the hills.” The words “as she walked” are supplied.

[21:17]  ³ tn The Hebrew text has “and they said” at the beginning of the verse. For stylistic reasons the translation treats v. 17 as a continuation of the remarks of the leaders in v. 16.

[21:17]  ⁴ tn Heb “An inheritance for the remnant belonging to Benjamin, and a tribe from Israel will not be wiped away.” The first statement lacks a verb. Some prefer to emend the text to read, “How can an inheritance remain for the remnant of Benjamin?”
