Judges 6:29

6:29 They said to one another, ¹  “Who did this?” ²  They investigated the matter thoroughly ³  and concluded ⁴  that Gideon son of Joash had done it.

¹ tn Heb “each one to his neighbor.”

² tn Heb “this thing.”

³ tn Heb “they inquired and searched.” The synonyms are joined to emphasize the care with which they conducted their inquiry.

⁴ tn Heb “and said.” Perhaps the plural subject is indefinite. If so, it could be translated, “they were told.”
