[4:11]  ¹ tn Or “separated.”

[4:11]  ² tn Heb “pitched his tent.”

[4:18]  ³ tn Heb “Turn aside” (also a second time later in this verse).

[4:18]  ⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Sisera) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “came up.”

[6:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “numerous.”

[6:5]  ⁷ tn Heb “To them and to their camels there was no number.”

[6:5]  ⁸ tn Heb “destroy.” The translation “devour” carries through the imagery of a locust plague earlier in this verse.

[8:11]  ⁷ tn Heb “the ones living in tents.”

[8:11]  ⁸ 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.

[20:8]  ⁹ tn Heb “as one man.”

[20:8]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “to his tent.”

[20:8]  ¹¹ tn Or “turn aside.”
