Judges 6:37

6:37 Look, I am putting a wool fleece on the threshing floor. If there is dew only on the fleece, and the ground around it ¹  is dry, then I will be sure ²  that you will use me to deliver Israel, ³  as you promised.”

Judges 12:3

12:3 When I saw that you were not going to help, ⁴  I risked my life ⁵  and advanced against ⁶  the Ammonites, and the Lord handed them over to me. Why have you come up ⁷  to fight with me today?”

¹ tn Heb “all the ground.”

² tn Or “know.”

³ tn Heb “you will deliver Israel by my hand.”

⁴ tn Heb “you were no deliverer.” Codex Alexandrinus (A) of the LXX has “no one was helping.”

⁵ tn Heb “I put my life in my hand.”

⁶ tn Heb “crossed over to.”

⁷ tn The Hebrew adds “against me” here. This is redundant in English and has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons.
