Hakim-hakim 4:6

4:6 She summoned ¹  Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali. She said to him, “Is it not true that the Lord God of Israel is commanding you? Go, march to Mount Tabor! Take with you ten thousand men from Naphtali and Zebulun!

Yosua 1:5-9

1:5 No one will be able to resist you ²  all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not abandon you or leave you alone. 1:6 Be strong and brave! You must lead these people in the conquest of this land that I solemnly promised their ancestors I would hand over to them. ³  1:7 Make sure you are ⁴  very strong and brave! Carefully obey ⁵  all the law my servant Moses charged you to keep! ⁶  Do not swerve from it to the right or to the left, so that you may be successful ⁷  in all you do. ⁸  1:8 This law scroll must not leave your lips! ⁹  You must memorize it ¹⁰  day and night so you can carefully obey ¹¹  all that is written in it. Then you will prosper ¹²  and be successful. ¹³  1:9 I repeat, ¹⁴  be strong and brave! Don’t be afraid and don’t panic, ¹⁵  for I, the Lord your God, am with you in all you do.” ¹⁶ 

Yosua 1:1

The Lord Commissions Joshua

1:1 After Moses the Lord’s servant died, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant:

1 Samuel 12:11

12:11 So the Lord sent Jerub-Baal, ¹⁷  Barak, ¹⁸  Jephthah, and Samuel, ¹⁹  and he delivered you from the hand of the enemies all around you, and you were able to live securely.

1 Samuel 12:1

12:1 Samuel said to all Israel, “I have done ²⁰  everything you requested. ²¹  I have given you a king. ²² 

1 Samuel 14:9-10

14:9 If they say to us, ‘Stay put until we approach you,’ we will stay ²³  right there and not go up to them. 14:10 But if they say, ‘Come up against us,’ we will go up. For in that case the Lord has given them into our hand – it will be a sign to us.”

Ibrani 11:32

11:32 And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets.

Ibrani 11:34

11:34 quenched raging fire, ²⁴  escaped the edge of the sword, gained strength in weakness, ²⁵  became mighty in battle, put foreign armies to flight,

[4:6]  ¹ tn Heb “sent and summoned.”

[1:5]  ² tn Heb “A man will not stand before you.” The second person pronouns in this verse are singular, indicating Joshua is the addressee.

[1:6]  ³ tn Heb “For you will cause these people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give to them.” The pronoun “them” at the end of the verse refers to either the people or to the fathers.

[1:7]  ⁴ tn Or “Only be.”

[1:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “so you can be careful to do.” The use of the infinitive לִשְׁמֹר (lishmor, “to keep”) after the imperatives suggests that strength and bravery will be necessary for obedience. Another option is to take the form לִשְׁמֹר as a vocative lamed (ל) with imperative (see Isa 38:20 for an example of this construction), which could be translated, “Indeed, be careful!”

[1:7]  ⁶ tn Heb “commanded you.”

[1:7]  ⁷ tn Heb “be wise,” but the word can mean “be successful” by metonymy.

[1:7]  ⁸ tn Heb “in all which you go.”

[1:8]  ⁹ tn Heb “mouth.”

[1:8]  sn This law scroll must not leave your lips. The ancient practice of reading aloud to oneself as an aid to memorization is in view here.

[1:8]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “read it in undertones,” or “recite it quietly” (see HALOT 1:237).

[1:8]  ¹¹ tn Heb “be careful to do.”

[1:8]  ¹² tn Heb “you will make your way prosperous.”

[1:8]  ¹³ tn Heb “and be wise,” but the word can mean “be successful” by metonymy.

[1:9]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “Have I not commanded you?” The rhetorical question emphasizes the importance of the following command by reminding the listener that it is being repeated.

[1:9]  ¹⁵ tn Or perhaps, “don’t get discouraged!”

[1:9]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “in all which you go.”

[12:11]  ¹⁷ sn Jerub-Baal (יְרֻבַּעַל) is also known as Gideon (see Judg 6:32). The Book of Judges uses both names for him.

[12:11]  ¹⁸ tc The MT has “Bedan” (בְּדָן) here (cf. KJV, NASB, CEV). But a deliverer by this name is not elsewhere mentioned in the OT. The translation follows the LXX and the Syriac Peshitta in reading “Barak.”

[12:11]  ¹⁹ tc In the ancient versions there is some confusion with regard to these names, both with regard to the particular names selected for mention and with regard to the order in which they are listed. For example, the LXX has “Jerub-Baal, Barak, Jephthah, and Samuel.” But the Targum has “Gideon, Samson, Jephthah, and Samuel,” while the Syriac Peshitta has “Deborah, Barak, Gideon, Jephthah, and Samson.”

[12:1]  ²⁰ tn Heb “Look, I have listened to your voice.”

[12:1]  ²¹ tn Heb “to all which you said to me.”

[12:1]  ²² tn Heb “and I have installed a king over you.”

[14:9]  ²³ tn Heb “stand.”

[11:34]  ²⁴ tn Grk “quenched the power of fire.”

[11:34]  ²⁵ tn Or “recovered from sickness.”
