[6:33]  ¹ tn Heb “Midian, Amalek, and the sons of the east.”

[6:33]  ² tn The words “the Jordan River” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[8:4]  ¹ tn Heb “And Gideon arrived at the Jordan, crossing over, he and the three hundred men who were with him, exhausted and chasing.” The English past perfect (“had crossed”) is used because this verse flashes back chronologically to an event that preceded the hostile encounter described in vv. 1-3. (Note that 7:25 assumes Gideon had already crossed the Jordan.)

[9:26]  ¹ sn The name Gaal derives from, or at least sounds like, a Hebrew verb meaning “to abhor, loathe.” His father’s name, Ebed, means “servant.” Perhaps then this could be translated, “loathsome one, son of a servant.” This individual’s very name (which may be the narrator’s nickname for him, not his actual name) seems to hint at his immoral character and lowly social status.

[9:26]  ² tn Heb “trusted in him.” Here the verb probably describes more than a mental attitude. It is likely that the Shechemites made an alliance with Gaal and were now trusting him for protection in return for their loyalty (and probably tribute).

[11:32]  ¹ tn Heb “passed over to.”

[19:14]  ¹ tn Heb “and they passed by and went.”

[19:14]  ² tn Heb “which belongs to Benjamin.”
