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

[18:17]  ² tn Heb “went up, went in there, took.”

[18:17]  ³ tn Heb “six hundred men, equipped with the weapons of war.”

[18:30]  ³ tn Heb “erected for themselves.”

[18:30]  ⁴ tn Heb “son.”

[18:30]  ⁵ 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.

[18:30]  ⁶ tn Heb “sons.”
