[11:40]  ¹ tn Heb “From days to days,” a Hebrew idiom for “annually.”

[11:40]  ² tn Heb “go to commemorate.” The rare Hebrew verb תָּנָה (tanah, “to tell; to repeat; to recount”) occurs only here and in 5:11.

[11:40]  ³ tn The Hebrew text adds, “in the year.” This is redundant (note “every year” at the beginning of the verse) and has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[12:7]  ⁴ tn Traditionally, “judged.”

[12:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “Jephthah the Gileadite.” The proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[12:7]  ⁶ tc The Hebrew text has “in the cities of Gilead.” The present translation has support from some ancient Greek textual witnesses.

[11:1]  ⁷ tn Heb “Now he was the son of a woman, a prostitute, and Gilead fathered Jephthah.”
