Judges 6:13

6:13 Gideon said to him, “Pardon me, ¹  but if the Lord is with us, why has such disaster ²  overtaken us? Where are all his miraculous deeds our ancestors told us about? They said, ³  ‘Did the Lord not bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the Lord has abandoned us and handed us over to Midian.”

Judges 6:5

6:5 When they invaded ⁴  with their cattle and tents, they were as thick ⁵  as locusts. Neither they nor their camels could be counted. ⁶  They came to devour ⁷  the land.

[6:13]  ¹ tn Heb “But my lord.”

[6:13]  ² tn Heb “all this.”

[6:13]  ³ tn Heb “saying.”

[6:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “came up.”

[6:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “numerous.”

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

[6:5]  ⁷ tn Heb “destroy.” The translation “devour” carries through the imagery of a locust plague earlier in this verse.
