Judges 3:28

3:28 He said to them, “Follow me, for the Lord is about to defeat your enemies, the Moabites!” ¹  They followed him, captured the fords of the Jordan River ²  opposite Moab, ³  and did not let anyone cross.

Judges 19:8

19:8 He woke up early in the morning on the fifth day so he could leave, but the girl’s father said, “Get some energy. ⁴  Wait until later in the day to leave!” ⁵  So they ate a meal together.

[3:28]  ¹ tn Heb “for the Lord has given your enemies, Moab, into your hand.” The verb form (a Hebrew perfect, indicating completed action from the standpoint of the speaker) emphasizes the certainty of the event. Though it had not yet taken place, the Lord speaks of it as a “done deal.”

[3:28]  ² tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but is supplied for clarity.

[3:28]  ³ tn Or “against Moab,” that is, so as to prevent the Moabites from crossing.

[19:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “Sustain your heart.” He is once more inviting him to stay for a meal.

[19:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “Wait until the declining of the day.”
