Judges 8:9

8:9 He also threatened ¹  the men of Penuel, warning, ²  “When I return victoriously, ³  I will tear down this tower.”

Judges 8:5

8:5 He said to the men of Succoth, “Give ⁴  some loaves of bread to the men ⁵  who are following me, ⁶  because they are exhausted. I am chasing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.”

¹ tn Heb “said to.” The translation “threatened” is interpretive, but is clearly indicated by the context.

² tn Heb “saying.”

³ tn Or “safely.” Heb “in peace.”

⁴ tn Or perhaps, “sell.”

⁵ tn Heb “people.” The translation uses “men” because these were warriors and in ancient Israelite culture would have been exclusively males.

⁶ tn Heb “who are at my feet.”
