Hakim-hakim 18:2
Konteks18:2 The Danites sent out from their whole tribe five representatives, 30 capable men 31 from Zorah and Eshtaol, to spy out the land and explore it. They said to them, “Go, explore the land.” They came to the Ephraimite hill country and spent the night at Micah’s house. 32
Hakim-hakim 1:14

Hakim-hakim 19:10
Konteks19:10 But the man did not want to stay another night. He left 38 and traveled as far as 39 Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). 40 He had with him a pair of saddled donkeys and his concubine. 41
Hakim-hakim 18:13
Konteks18:13 From there they traveled through the Ephraimite hill country and arrived at Micah’s house.
Hakim-hakim 19:15
Konteks19:15 They stopped there and decided to spend the night 42 in Gibeah. They came into the city and sat down in the town square, but no one invited them to spend the night. 43
Hakim-hakim 3:19
Konteks3:19 But he went back 44 once he reached 45 the carved images 46 at Gilgal. He said to Eglon, 47 “I have a secret message for you, O king.” Eglon 48 said, “Be quiet!” 49 All his attendants left.
Hakim-hakim 18:7
Konteks18:7 So the five men journeyed on 50 and arrived in Laish. They noticed that the people there 51 were living securely, like the Sidonians do, 52 undisturbed and unsuspecting. No conqueror was troubling them in any way. 53 They lived far from the Sidonians and had no dealings with anyone. 54
Hakim-hakim 14:7
Konteks14:7 Samson continued on down to Timnah 55 and spoke to the girl. In his opinion, she was just the right one. 56
Hakim-hakim 5:28

Why are the hoofbeats of his chariot-horses 57 delayed?’
Hakim-hakim 11:18
Konteks11:18 Then Israel 58 went through the desert and bypassed the land of Edom and the land of Moab. They traveled east of the land of Moab and camped on the other side of the Arnon River; 59 they did not go through Moabite territory (the Arnon was Moab’s border).

Konteks14:19 The Lord’s spirit empowered him. He went down to Ashkelon and murdered thirty men. He took their clothes 66 and gave them 67 to the men who had solved the riddle. He was furious as he went back home. 68
Hakim-hakim 18:27
Konteks18:27 Now the Danites 69 took what Micah had made, as well as his priest, and came to Laish, where the people were undisturbed and unsuspecting. They struck them down with the sword and burned the city. 70
Hakim-hakim 19:16
Konteks19:16 But then an old man passed by, returning at the end of the day from his work in the field. 71 The man was from the Ephraimite hill country; he was living temporarily in Gibeah. (The residents of the town were Benjaminites.) 72
Hakim-hakim 19:22
Konteks19:22 They were having a good time, 73 when suddenly 74 some men of the city, some good-for-nothings, 75 surrounded the house and kept beating 76 on the door. They said to the old man who owned the house, “Send out the man who came to visit you so we can have sex with him.” 77

[11:16] 1 tn Heb “For when they went up from.”
[14:5] 3 tc The MT reads, “Samson went down with his father and mother to Timnah. When they approached…” Verse 6b states that Samson did not tell his parents about his encounter with the lion (vv. 5b-6a), but v. 5a gives the impression they would have seen the entire episode. One could assume that Samson separated from his parents prior to the lion’s attack, but the Hebrew text does not indicate this. It seems more likely that the words “with his father and his mother” were accidentally copied into the text, perhaps under the influence of v. 4a, where the same phrase appears. An original singular verb (“he approached”) may have been changed to the plural form (“they approached”) after the words “his father and his mother” were accidentally added to the text.
[14:5] 4 tn Heb “and look, a young lion of the lions was roaring to meet him.”
[15:14] 6 tn Heb “burned with.”
[20:4] 8 tn Heb “The man, the Levite.”
[20:4] 10 tn Heb “which belongs to Benjamin.”
[3:27] 11 tn Heb “When he arrived.”
[3:27] 12 tn That is, “mustered an army.”
[3:27] 13 tn Heb “now he was before them.”
[19:29] 14 tn Heb “he carved her up by her bones into twelve pieces.”
[19:29] 15 tn Heb “and he sent her through all the territory of Israel.”
[7:13] 16 tn Heb “And Gideon came, and, look, a man was relating to his friend a dream.”
[7:13] 17 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the man mentioned in the previous clause) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[7:13] 18 tn Heb “Look!” The repetition of this interjection, while emphatic in Hebrew, would be redundant in the English translation.
[7:13] 19 tn Heb “It came to the tent and struck it and it fell. It turned it upside down and the tent fell.”
[20:40] 20 tn Heb “Benjamin turned after him and, look, the whole city went up toward the sky.”
[19:14] 21 tn Heb “and they passed by and went.”
[19:14] 22 tn Heb “which belongs to Benjamin.”
[19:3] 24 tn Heb “arose and came.”
[19:3] 25 tn Heb “to speak to her heart to bring her back.”
[19:3] 27 tn Heb “he was happy to meet him.”
[7:19] 28 tn Heb “Gideon went, along with the hundred men who were with him, to the edge of the camp.”
[7:19] 29 tn Heb “that were in their hands.”
[18:2] 30 tn Heb “The Danites sent from their tribe five men, from their borders.”
[18:2] 31 tn Heb “men, sons of strength.”
[18:2] 32 tn Heb “They came to the Ephraimite hill country, to Micah’s house, and spent the night there.”
[1:14] 33 tn Heb “she”; the referent (Acsah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[1:14] 34 tn Heb “him.” The pronoun could refer to Othniel, in which case one would translate, “she incited him [Othniel] to ask her father for a field.” This is problematic, however, for Acsah, not Othniel, makes the request in v. 15. The LXX has “he [Othniel] urged her to ask her father for a field.” This appears to be an attempt to reconcile the apparent inconsistency and probably does not reflect the original text. If Caleb is understood as the referent of the pronoun, the problem disappears. For a fuller discussion of the issue, see P. G. Mosca, “Who Seduced Whom? A Note on Joshua 15:18 // Judges 1:14,” CBQ 46 (1984): 18-22. The translation takes Caleb to be the referent, specified as “her father.”
[20:33] 35 sn Verses 33-36a give a condensed account of the battle from this point on, while vv. 36b-48 offer a more detailed version of how the ambush contributed to Gibeah’s defeat.
[14:2] 36 tn Heb “and he went up.”
[14:2] 37 tn Heb “I have seen a woman in Timnah, one of the daughters of the Philistines.”
[19:10] 38 tn Heb “and he arose and went.”
[19:10] 39 tn Heb “to the front of.”

[19:10] 41 tc Some ancient witnesses add “and his servant.”
[19:15] 42 tn Heb “they turned aside there to enter to spend the night.”
[19:15] 43 tn Heb “and he entered and sat down, and there was no one receiving them into the house to spend the night.”
[3:19] 44 tn Or “returned” (i.e., to Eglon’s palace).
[3:19] 45 tn The words “when he reached” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The Hebrew text simply reads “from.”
[3:19] 47 tn The words “to Eglon” are supplied in the translation for clarification.
[3:19] 48 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Eglon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[18:7] 51 tn Heb “who were in its midst.”
[18:7] 52 tn Heb “according to the custom of the Sidonians.”
[18:7] 53 tn Heb “and there was no one humiliating anything in the land, one taking possession [by] force.”
[18:7] 54 tc Heb “and a thing there was not to them with men.” Codex Alexandrinus (A) of the LXX and Symmachus read “Syria” here rather than the MT’s “men.” This reading presupposes a Hebrew Vorlage אֲרָם (’aram, “Aram,” i.e., Arameans) rather than the MT reading אָדָם (’adam). This reading is possibly to be preferred over the MT.
[14:7] 55 tn Heb “He went down.”
[14:7] 56 tn Heb “She was the right one in the eyes of Samson.”
[11:18] 58 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Israel; the pronoun in the Hebrew text represents a collective singular) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[11:18] 59 tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.
[17:8] 60 tn Heb “He came to the Ephraimite hill country, to Micah’s house, making his way.”
[6:21] 61 tn Heb “extended the tip of the staff which was in his hand and touched the meat and unleavened bread.”
[6:21] 62 tn Heb “went from his eyes.”
[14:6] 64 tn Heb “him” or “it”; the referent (the lion) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[14:6] 65 tn Heb “and there was nothing in his hand.”
[14:19] 66 tn Heb “equipment”; or “gear.”
[14:19] 67 tn Heb “changes [of clothes].”
[14:19] 68 tn Heb “he went up to his father’s house.”
[18:27] 69 tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Danites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[18:27] 70 tn The Hebrew adds “with fire.” This has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons, because it is redundant in English.
[19:16] 71 tn Heb “And look, an old man was coming from his work, from the field in the evening.”
[19:16] 72 tn Heb “And the men of the place were Benjaminites.”
[19:22] 73 tn Heb “they were making their heart good.”
[19:22] 75 tn Heb “the men of the city, men, the sons of wickedness.” The phrases are in apposition; the last phrase specifies what type of men they were. It is not certain if all the men of the city are in view, or just a group of troublemakers. In 20:5 the town leaders are implicated in the crime, suggesting that all the men of the city were involved. If so, the implication is that the entire male population of the town were good-for-nothings.
[19:22] 76 tn The Hitpael verb form appears to have an iterative force here, indicating repeated action.
[19:22] 77 tn Heb “so we can know him.” On the surface one might think they simply wanted to meet the visitor and get to know him, but their hostile actions betray their double-talk. The old man, who has been living with them long enough to know what they are like, seems to have no doubts about the meaning of their words (see v. 23).
