Judges 18:4-8

18:4

hired ....... priest <07936 03548> [hired me.]

18:5

Seek <07592> [Ask counsel.]

divine <0430> [of God.]

18:6

confidence <07965 03212> [Go in peace.]

with <05227> [before.]

Lord <03068> [the Lord.]

As the Levite uses the word Jehovah, and as the Danites succeeded according to the oracle delivered by him, some learned men are of opinion, that the worship established by Micah was not of an idolatrous kind.

18:7

Laish <03919> [Laish.]

[called Leshem. how they.]

conqueror <03423> [magistrate. Heb. possessor, or, heir of restraint.]

dealings <01697> [and had no.]

In the most correct copies of the LXX. this clause stands thus; [kai logos ouk en autois meta Syrias;] "and they had no transactions with Syria;" evidently reading instead of ['ƒdƒm <\\See definition 0120\\>] {adam,} man, ['Arƒm <\\See definition 0758\\>] {aram,} Syria; words so nearly similar that the only difference between them is in the [Rˆysh,] {raish,} and [Dƒleth,] daleth, which in both MSS. and printed books is sometimes indiscernible. Laish was situated on the frontiers of Syria.

18:8

Zorah ... Eshtaol <0847 06881> [Zorah and Eshtaol.]
