Hakim-hakim 2:12

2:12 They abandoned the Lord God of their ancestors ¹  who brought them out of the land of Egypt. They followed other gods – the gods of the nations who lived around them. They worshiped ²  them and made the Lord angry.

Hakim-hakim 3:1

3:1 These were the nations the Lord permitted to remain so he could use them to test Israel – he wanted to test all those who had not experienced battle against the Canaanites. ³ 

Hakim-hakim 18:30

18:30 The Danites worshiped ⁴  the carved image. Jonathan, descendant ⁵  of Gershom, son of Moses, ⁶  and his descendants ⁷  served as priests for the tribe of Dan until the time of the exile.

[2:12]  ¹ tn Or “fathers.”

[2:12]  ² tn Or “bowed before” (the same expression occurs in the following verse).

[3:1]  ³ tn Heb “did not know the wars of Canaan.”

[18:30]  ⁴ tn Heb “erected for themselves.”

[18:30]  ⁵ tn Heb “son.”

[18:30]  ⁶ tc Several ancient textual witnesses, including some LXX mss and the Vulgate, support the reading “Moses” (מֹשֶׁה, mosheh) here. Many Hebrew mss have a nun (נ) suspended above the name between the first two letters (מנשׁה), suggesting the name Manasseh (מְנַשֶּׁה, mÿnasheh). This is probably a scribal attempt to protect Moses’ reputation. For discussion, see G. F. Moore, Judges (ICC), 401-2.

[18:30]  ⁷ tn Heb “sons.”
