Judges 9:18

9:18 But you have attacked ¹  my father’s family ²  today. You murdered his seventy legitimate ³  sons on one stone and made Abimelech, the son of his female slave, king over the leaders of Shechem, just because he is your close relative. ⁴ 

Judges 18:30

18:30 The Danites worshiped ⁵  the carved image. Jonathan, descendant ⁶  of Gershom, son of Moses, ⁷  and his descendants ⁸  served as priests for the tribe of Dan until the time of the exile.

¹ tn Heb “have risen up against.”

² tn Heb “house.”

³ tn The word “legitimate” is not in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for clarification.

⁴ tn Heb “your brother.”

⁵ tn Heb “erected for themselves.”

⁶ tn Heb “son.”

⁷ tc Several ancient textual witnesses, including some LXX mss and the Vulgate, support the reading “Moses” (מֹשֶׁה, mosheh) here. Many Hebrew mss have a nun (נ) suspended above the name between the first two letters (מנשׁה), suggesting the name Manasseh (מְנַשֶּׁה, mÿnasheh). This is probably a scribal attempt to protect Moses’ reputation. For discussion, see G. F. Moore, Judges (ICC), 401-2.

⁸ tn Heb “sons.”
