Hakim-hakim 7:1

Gideon Reduces the Ranks

Hakim-hakim 11:20

Hakim-hakim 18:12

18:12 They went up and camped in Kiriath Jearim in Judah. (To this day that place is called Camp of Dan. ⁶  It is west ⁷  of Kiriath Jearim.)

[7:1]  ¹ tn Heb “and all the people who were with him.”

[7:1]  ² sn The name Harod means, ironically, “trembling.”

[7:1]  ³ tn Heb “Midian.” The LXX reads “and Amalek” (cf. v. 12; 6:33).

[11:20]  ⁴ tn Heb “Sihon.” The proper name (“Sihon”) has been replaced in the translation by the pronoun (“he”) because of English style; a repetition of the proper name here would be redundant in English.

[11:20]  ⁵ tn Heb “all his people” (also in the following verse).

[18:12]  ⁶ tn Or “Mahaneh Dan”; the Hebrew term “Mahaneh” means “camp [of].” Many English versions retain the transliterated Hebrew expression, but cf. CEV “Dan’s Camp.”

[18:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “behind.”
