Hakim-hakim 9:49

9:49 So each of his men also cut off a branch and followed Abimelech. They put the branches ³  against the stronghold and set fire to it. ⁴  All the people ⁵  of the Tower of Shechem died – about a thousand men and women.

[7:5]  ¹ tn Heb “the people.”

[7:5]  ² tn Heb “Everyone who laps with his tongue from the water, as a dog laps, put him by himself, as well as the one who gets down on his knees to drink.”

[9:49]  ³ tn The words “the branches” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[9:49]  ⁴ tn Heb “they kindled over them the stronghold with fire.”

[9:49]  ⁵ tn Or “men,” but the word seems to have a more general sense here, as the conclusion to the sentence suggests.
