Judges 1:12-13
Caleb <03612> [And Caleb.]
The whole of this account is found in Jos 15:13-19, and seems to be inserted here by way of recapitulation.
give <05414> [to him.]
In ancient times fathers assumed an absolute right over their children, especially in disposing of them in marriage; and it was customary for a king or great man to promise his daughter in marriage to him who should take a city, etc.
Judges 11:1
Jephthah <03316> [Jephthah.]
[called Jephthae. a mighty.]
mother <0802> [an harlot. Heb. a woman, an harlot.]
Probably {zonah} should be rendered as in Jos 2:1, a hostess, or inn-keeper: so Targum of Jonathan, {wehoo bar ittetha pundekeetha,} "and he was the son of a woman, a tavern-keeper." She was very probably a Canaanite, as she is called, ver. 2, a strange woman, {ishah achereth,} "a woman of another race;" and on this account his brethren drove him from the family, as not having a full right to the inheritance.
Judges 13:3
messenger <04397> [the angel.]
conceive <02029> [but thou.]
Judges 13:9-10
answered <08085> [hearkened.]
husband ..... man ...... other <0376> [Behold.]
day <03117> [the other day.]
{Byyom,} rather, "in this day," or "to-day," for the word other is not in the original, and it is probably that the angel appeared in the morning and evening of the same day.
Judges 13:19-21
took <03947> [took.]
did ... amazing <06381 06213> [did wondrously.]
He acted according to His Name: He, being wonderful, performed wonders; probably causing fire to arise out of the rock and consume the sacrifice, and then ascended in the flame.
flame ................ it <03851> [when the flame.]
fell <05307> [fell on.]
realized <03045> [knew.]
Judges 19:26-27
master ....... light <0113 0216> [her lord was.]
Judges 20:4
Levite <03881> [the Levite. Heb. the man the Levite. I came.]
