Judges 4:18

¹ tn Or “separated.”

² tn Heb “pitched his tent.”

³ tn Heb “Turn aside” (also a second time later in this verse).

⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Sisera) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁵ tn Heb “came up.”

⁶ tn Heb “numerous.”

⁷ tn Heb “To them and to their camels there was no number.”

⁸ tn Heb “destroy.” The translation “devour” carries through the imagery of a locust plague earlier in this verse.

⁷ tn Heb “the ones living in tents.”

⁸ 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.

⁹ tn Heb “as one man.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “to his tent.”

¹¹ tn Or “turn aside.”
