[3:13]  ¹ tn Heb “and he gathered to him.”

[3:31]  ² tn Heb “him”; the referent (Ehud) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:31]  ³ tn Heb “was.”

[8:11]  ³ tn Heb “the ones living in tents.”

[8:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “and attacked the army, while the army was secure.” The Hebrew term בֶטַח (vetakh, “secure”) probably means the army was undefended (see R. G. Boling, Judges [AB], 156), not suspecting an attack at that time and place.

[20:37]  ⁴ tn Heb “hurried and put off [their hiding place].”

[20:37]  ⁵ tn Heb “the men hiding in ambush.”

[20:37]  ⁶ tn Or “deployed.” The verb normally means “to lead” or “to draw.”
