[3:13]  ¹ tn Heb “and he gathered to him.”

[4:3]  ² tn Heb “he”; the referent (Sisera) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[4:3]  ³ tn Regarding the translation “chariots with iron-rimmed wheels,” see Y. Yadin, The Art of Warfare in Biblical Lands, 255, and the article by R. Drews, “The ‘Chariots of Iron’ of Joshua and Judges,” JSOT 45 (1989): 15-23.

[4:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “with strength.”

[5:9]  ⁵ tn The words “went out” are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[8:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Gideon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:12]  ⁷ tn Or “routed”; Heb “caused to panic.”

[9:17]  ⁸ tc Heb “threw his life out in front,” that is, “exposed himself to danger.” The MT form מִנֶּגֶד (minneged, “from before”) should probably be read as מִנֶּגְדּוֹ (minnegdo, “from before him”); haplography of vav has likely occurred here in the MT.

[9:17]  ⁹ tn Heb “hand.”

[20:17]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “a man of war.”

[20:21]  ¹¹ tn Heb “The sons of Benjamin came out of Gibeah and they struck down in Israel that day twenty-two thousand men to the ground.”
