Genesis 35:8

35:8 (Deborah, ¹  Rebekah’s nurse, died and was buried under the oak below Bethel; thus it was named ²  Oak of Weeping.) ³ 

Joshua 7:26

7:26 Then they erected over him a large pile of stones (it remains to this very day ⁴ ) and the Lord’s anger subsided. So that place is called the Valley of Disaster to this very day.

¹ sn Deborah. This woman had been Rebekah’s nurse, but later attached herself to Jacob. She must have been about one hundred and eighty years old when she died.

² tn “and he called its name.” There is no expressed subject, so the verb can be translated as passive.

³ tn Or “Allon Bacuth,” if one transliterates the Hebrew name (cf. NEB, NIV, NRSV). An oak tree was revered in the ancient world and often designated as a shrine or landmark. This one was named for the weeping (mourning) occasioned by the death of Deborah.

⁴ tc Heb “to this day.” The phrase “to this day” is omitted in the LXX and may represent a later scribal addition.
