Judges 21:17

[1:13]  ¹ tn “Caleb’s younger brother” may refer to Othniel or to Kenaz (in which case Othniel was Caleb’s nephew; so CEV).

[1:13]  ² tn Heb “he”; the referent (Caleb) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[14:10]  ³ tn Heb “And his father went down to the woman.”

[14:10]  ⁴ tn Or “[wedding] feast.”

[14:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “the young men.”

[18:21]  ⁵ tn Heb “They turned and went and put the children, the cattle, and the possessions in front of them.”

[21:17]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew text has “and they said” at the beginning of the verse. For stylistic reasons the translation treats v. 17 as a continuation of the remarks of the leaders in v. 16.

[21:17]  ⁸ tn Heb “An inheritance for the remnant belonging to Benjamin, and a tribe from Israel will not be wiped away.” The first statement lacks a verb. Some prefer to emend the text to read, “How can an inheritance remain for the remnant of Benjamin?”
