Judges 3:2

3:2 He left those nations simply because he wanted to teach the subsequent generations of Israelites, who had not experienced the earlier battles, how to conduct holy war. ¹ 

Judges 19:20

19:20 The old man said, “Everything is just fine! ²  I will take care of all your needs. But don’t spend the night in the town square.”

[3:2]  ¹ tn The Hebrew syntax of v. 2 is difficult. The Hebrew text reads literally, “only in order that the generations of the Israelites might know, to teach them war – only those who formerly did not know them.”

[19:20]  ² tn Heb “Peace to you.”
