Hakim-hakim 1:16

1:16 Now the descendants of the Kenite, Moses’ father-in-law, went up with the people of Judah from the City of Date Palm Trees to Arad in the desert of Judah, ²  located in the Negev. ³  They went and lived with the people of Judah. ⁴ 

[1:9]  ¹ tn Or “foothills”; Heb “the Shephelah.”

[1:16]  ² tc Part of the Greek ms tradition lacks the words “of Judah.”

[1:16]  ³ tn Heb “[to] the Desert of Judah in the Negev, Arad.”

[1:16]  ⁴ tn The phrase “of Judah” is supplied here in the translation. Some ancient textual witnesses read, “They went and lived with the Amalekites.” This reading, however, is probably influenced by 1 Sam 15:6 (see also Num 24:20-21).
