Hakim-hakim 21:17

21:17 The ⁴  remnant of Benjamin must be preserved. An entire Israelite tribe should not be wiped out. ⁵ 

[13:12]  ¹ tn Heb “Now, [when] your word comes [to pass].”

[13:12]  ² tn Heb “what will be the child’s rule [i.e., way of life] and his work?”

[21:4]  ³ tn Or “peace offerings.”

[21:17]  ⁴ 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]  ⁵ 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?”
