Hakim-hakim 15:17

15:17 When he finished speaking, he threw the jawbone down ¹  and named that place Ramath Lehi. ² 

Hakim-hakim 21:11

21:11 Do this: ³  exterminate every male, as well as every woman who has had sexual relations with a male. ⁴  But spare the lives of any virgins.” So they did as instructed. ⁵ 

[15:17]  ¹ tn Heb “from his hand.”

[15:17]  ² sn The name Ramath Lehi means “Height of the Jawbone.”

[21:11]  ³ tn Heb “And this is the thing that you will do.”

[21:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “every woman who is familiar with the bed of a male.”

[21:11]  ⁵ tc Some Greek witnesses (notably Codex Vaticanus [B]) add the words, “‘But the virgins you should keep alive.’ And they did so.” These additional words, which probably represent the original Hebrew text, can be retroverted: וְאֶת־הַבְּתוּלוֹת תְּחַיּוּ וַיַּעֲשׂוּ כֵן (ve’et-habbÿtulot tÿkhayyu vayya’asu khen). It is likely that a scribe’s eye jumped from the vav (ו) on וְאֶת (vÿ’et) to the initial vav of v. 11, accidentally leaving out the intervening letters. The present translation is based on this reconstruction.
