Judges 7:13

7:13 When Gideon arrived, he heard a man telling another man about a dream he had. ¹  The man ²  said, “Look! I had a dream. I saw ³  a stale cake of barley bread rolling into the Midianite camp. It hit a tent so hard it knocked it over and turned it upside down. The tent just collapsed.” ⁴ 

Judges 4:20-21

4:20 He said to her, “Stand watch at the entrance to the tent. If anyone comes along and asks you, ‘Is there a man here?’ say ‘No.’” 4:21 Then Jael wife of Heber took a tent peg in one hand and a hammer in the other. ⁵  She crept up on him, drove the tent peg through his temple into the ground ⁶  while he was asleep from exhaustion, ⁷  and he died.

[7:13]  ¹ tn Heb “And Gideon came, and, look, a man was relating to his friend a dream.”

[7:13]  ² tn Heb “he”; the referent (the man mentioned in the previous clause) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:13]  ³ tn Heb “Look!” The repetition of this interjection, while emphatic in Hebrew, would be redundant in the English translation.

[7:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “It came to the tent and struck it and it fell. It turned it upside down and the tent fell.”

[4:21]  ⁵ tn Heb “took a tent peg and put a hammer in her hand.”

[4:21]  ⁶ tn Heb “and it went into the ground.”

[4:21]  ⁷ tn Heb “and exhausted.” Another option is to understand this as a reference to the result of the fatal blow. In this case, the phrase could be translated, “and he breathed his last.”
