Judges 1:15

1:15 She answered, “Please give me a special present. ¹  Since you have given me land in the Negev, now give me springs of water.” So Caleb gave her both the upper and lower springs. ² 

Judges 15:19

15:19 So God split open the basin ³  at Lehi and water flowed out from it. When he took a drink, his strength ⁴  was restored and he revived. For this reason he named the spring ⁵  En Hakkore. ⁶  It remains in Lehi to this very day.

[1:15]  ¹ tn Elsewhere the Hebrew word בְרָכָה (vÿrakhah) is often translated “blessing,” but here it refers to a gift (as in Gen 33:11; 1 Sam 25:27; 30:26; and 2 Kgs 5:15).

[1:15]  ² tn Some translations regard the expressions “springs of water” (גֻּלֹּת מָיִם, gullot mayim) and “springs” (גֻּלֹּת) as place names here (cf. NRSV).

[15:19]  ³ tn The word translated “basin” refers to a circular-shaped depression in the land’s surface.

[15:19]  ⁴ tn Heb “spirit.”

[15:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “named it”; the referent (the spring) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[15:19]  ⁶ sn The name En Hakkore means “Spring of the one who cries out.”
