Hakim-hakim 12:1

Hakim-hakim 19:18
Konteks19:18 The Levite 20 said to him, “We are traveling from Bethlehem 21 in Judah to the remote region of the Ephraimite hill country. That’s where I’m from. I had business in Bethlehem in Judah, but now I’m heading home. 22 But no one has invited me into their home.
Hakim-hakim 17:11

Hakim-hakim 20:45
Konteks20:45 The rest 35 turned and ran toward the wilderness, heading toward the cliff of Rimmon. But the Israelites 36 caught 37 five thousand of them on the main roads. They stayed right on their heels 38 all the way to Gidom and struck down two thousand more.
Hakim-hakim 1:20

Konteks1:14 One time Acsah 51 came and charmed her father 52 so she could ask him for some land. When she got down from her donkey, Caleb said to her, “What would you like?”
Hakim-hakim 2:15
Konteks2:15 Whenever they went out to fight, 53 the Lord did them harm, 54 just as he had warned and solemnly vowed he would do. 55 They suffered greatly. 56
Hakim-hakim 4:7
Konteks4:7 I will bring Sisera, the general of Jabin’s army, to you at the Kishon River, along with his chariots and huge army. 57 I will hand him over to you.”
Hakim-hakim 5:11
Konteks5:11 Hear 58 the sound of those who divide the sheep 59 among the watering places;
there they tell of 60 the Lord’s victorious deeds,
the victorious deeds of his warriors 61 in Israel.
Then the Lord’s people went down to the city gates –
Hakim-hakim 9:25

[11:29] 14 tn Heb “passed through.”
[11:29] 15 tn Heb “From Mizpah in Gilead he passed through [to] the Ammonites.”
[12:5] 16 tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for clarification.
[12:5] 17 tn Or “against Ephraim,” that is, so as to prevent Ephraim from crossing.
[12:5] 18 tn The Hebrew text has a plural form here.
[19:18] 20 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the Levite) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[19:18] 21 map For location see Map5 B1; Map7 E2; Map8 E2; Map10 B4.
[19:18] 22 tn Heb “I went to Bethlehem in Judah, but [to] the house of the LORD I am going.” The Hebrew text has “house of the LORD,” which might refer to the shrine at Shiloh. The LXX reads “to my house.”
[17:11] 23 tn Heb “the young man became like one of his sons.”
[3:3] 25 tn The words “These were the nations,” though not present in the Hebrew text, are supplied in the translation for clarity.
[3:3] 26 tn Or “the entrance to Hamath.”
[9:37] 27 tn Heb “navel.” On the background of the Hebrew expression “the navel of the land,” see R. G. Boling, Judges (AB), 178-79.
[9:37] 29 tn Some English translations simply transliterated this as a place name (Heb “Elon-meonenim”); cf. NAB, NRSV.
[1:22] 30 tn Heb “house.” This is a metonymy for the warriors from the tribe.
[1:22] 32 map For location see Map4 G4; Map5 C1; Map6 E3; Map7 D1; Map8 G3.
[11:10] 33 tn Heb “The
[11:10] 34 sn The
[20:45] 35 tn Heb “they”; the referent (the rest [of the Benjaminites]) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[20:45] 36 tn Heb “and they”; the referent (the Israelites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[20:45] 37 tn Heb “gleaned.” The word is an agricultural term which pictures Israelites picking off the Benjaminites as easily as one picks grapes from the vine.
[20:45] 38 tn Heb “stuck close after them.”
[1:20] 39 tn Heb “they gave to Caleb.”
[6:36] 40 tn More literally, “you are about to deliver Israel by my hand.”
[6:36] 41 tn The words “then give me a sign as proof” are supplied in the translation for clarification.
[8:11] 42 tn Heb “the ones living in tents.”
[8:11] 43 tn Heb “and attacked the army, while the army was secure.” The Hebrew term בֶטַח (vetakh, “secure”) probably means the army was undefended (see R. G. Boling, Judges [AB], 156), not suspecting an attack at that time and place.
[11:16] 44 tn Heb “For when they went up from.”
[18:15] 46 tn Heb “turned aside.”
[18:15] 47 tn Heb “Micah’s house.”
[18:15] 48 tn Heb “they asked him concerning peace.”
[20:42] 49 tn Heb “clung to”; or “stuck close.”
[20:42] 50 tn Heb “and those from the cities were striking them down in their midst.”
[1:14] 51 tn Heb “she”; the referent (Acsah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[1:14] 52 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.”
[2:15] 53 tn The expression “to fight” is interpretive.
[2:15] 54 tn Heb “the
[2:15] 55 tn Heb “just as he had said and just as he had sworn to them.”
[2:15] 56 tn Or “they experienced great distress.”
[4:7] 57 tn Heb “horde”; “multitude.”
[5:11] 58 tn The word “Hear” is supplied in the translation for clarification and for stylistic reasons.
[5:11] 59 tn The meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain. Some translate “those who distribute the water” (HALOT 344 s.v. חצץ pi). For other options see B. Lindars, Judges 1-5, 246-47.
[5:11] 60 tn Or perhaps “repeat.”
[5:11] 61 tn See the note on the term “warriors” in v. 7.
[9:25] 62 tn Heb “set against him bandits.”
[9:25] sn Putting bandits in the hills. This piracy certainly interrupted or discouraged trade, and probably deprived Abimelech of tariffs or tribute. See C. F. Burney, Judges, 277; G. F. Moore, Judges (ICC), 253.
[9:25] 63 tn Heb “on the tops of.”
[9:25] 64 tn Heb “It was told to Abimelech.”
[9:43] 65 tn Heb “his people.”
[9:43] 66 tn Heb “And he saw and, look, the people were coming out of the city.”
[9:43] 67 tn Heb “he arose against them and struck them.”
[14:13] 68 tn Heb “you are unable to tell me.”
[14:13] 69 tn Heb “Give your riddle so we can hear it.”
[4:6] 70 tn Heb “sent and summoned.”
[6:27] 71 tn Heb “men from among his servants.”
[6:27] 73 tn Heb “so he did it at night.”
[6:37] 74 tn Heb “all the ground.”
[6:37] 76 tn Heb “you will deliver Israel by my hand.”
[13:20] 77 tn Heb “in the flame from the altar.”
[13:20] 78 tn Heb “on their faces.”
[16:15] 79 tn Heb “when your heart is not with me.”
[17:10] 80 tn Heb “father.” “Father” is here a title of honor that suggests the priest will give advice and protect the interests of the family, primarily by divining God’s will in matters, perhaps through the use of the ephod. (See R. G. Boling, Judges [AB], 257; also Gen 45:8, where Joseph, who was a diviner and interpreter of dreams, is called Pharaoh’s “father,” and 2 Kgs 6:21; 13:14, where a prophet is referred to as a “father.” Note also 2 Kgs 8:9, where a king identifies himself as a prophet’s “son.” One of a prophet’s main functions was to communicate divine oracles. Cf. 2 Kgs 8:9ff.; 13:14-19).
[17:10] 81 tn The Hebrew text expands with the phrase: “and the Levite went.” This only makes sense if taken with “to live” in the next verse. Apparently “the Levite went” and “the Levite agreed” are alternative readings which have been juxtaposed in the text.
