[1:17]  1 tn Heb “Judah went with Simeon, his brother.”

[1:17]  2 tn Heb “it”; the referent (the city of Zephath) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:17]  3 sn The name Hormah (חָרְמָה, khormah) sounds like the Hebrew verb translated “wipe out” (חָרַם, kharam).

[3:1]  1 tn Heb “did not know the wars of Canaan.”

[3:4]  1 tn Heb “to know if they would hear the commands of the Lord which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.”

[3:13]  1 tn Heb “and he gathered to him.”

[4:7]  1 tn Heb “horde”; “multitude.”

[6:9]  1 tn Heb “hand” (also a second time later in this verse).

[6:20]  1 tn Heb “Take the meat…and put [it] on this rock.”

[6:20]  2 tn Heb “and he did so.”

[8:7]  1 tn Heb “Therefore.”

[8:7]  2 sn I will thresh. The metaphor is agricultural. Threshing was usually done on a hard threshing floor. As farm animals walked over the stalks, pulling behind them a board embedded with sharp stones, the stalks and grain would be separated. See O. Borowski, Agriculture in Iron Age Israel, 63-65. Gideon threatens to use thorns and briers on his sledge.

[8:7]  3 tn Or “flesh.”

[8:7]  4 tn This is apparently a rare instrumental use of the Hebrew preposition אֵת (’et, note the use of ב [bet] in v. 16). Some, however, argue that אֵת more naturally indicates accompaniment (“together with”). In this case Gideon envisions threshing their skin along with thorns and briers, just as the stalks and grain are intermingled on the threshing floor. See C. F. Burney, Judges, 229-30.

[8:12]  1 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Gideon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:12]  2 tn Or “routed”; Heb “caused to panic.”

[18:18]  1 tn Heb “These went into Micah’s house and took.”

[18:20]  1 tn Heb “and went into the midst of the people.”

[20:5]  1 tn Heb “arose against me and surrounded against me the house at night.”
