Judges 5:6

5:6 In the days of Shamgar son of Anath,

in the days of Jael caravans ⁴  disappeared; ⁵ 

travelers ⁶  had to go on winding side roads.

[3:31]  ¹ tn Heb “him”; the referent (Ehud) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:31]  ² tn Heb “was.”

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

[5:6]  ⁴ tc The translation assumes the form אֳרְחוֹת (’orÿkhot, “caravans”) rather than אֳרָחוֹת (’orakhot, “roadways”) because it makes a tighter parallel with “travelers” in the next line.

[5:6]  ⁵ tn Or “ceased.”

[5:6]  ⁶ tn Heb “Ones walking on paths.”
