Judges 6:5

6:5 When they invaded ¹  with their cattle and tents, they were as thick ²  as locusts. Neither they nor their camels could be counted. ³  They came to devour ⁴  the land.

Judges 7:12

7:12 Now the Midianites, Amalekites, and the people from the east covered the valley like a swarm of locusts. ⁵  Their camels could not be counted; they were as innumerable as the sand on the seashore.

[6:5]  ¹ tn Heb “came up.”

[6:5]  ² tn Heb “numerous.”

[6:5]  ³ tn Heb “To them and to their camels there was no number.”

[6:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “destroy.” The translation “devour” carries through the imagery of a locust plague earlier in this verse.

[7:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “Midian, Amalek, and the sons of the east were falling in the valley like locusts in great number.”
