7:24 Now Gideon sent messengers throughout the Ephraimite hill country who announced, “Go down and head off the Midianites. ¹³  Take control of the fords of the streams ¹⁴  all the way to Beth Barah and the Jordan River.” ¹⁵  When all the Ephraimites had assembled, ¹⁶  they took control of the fords ¹⁷  all the way to Beth Barah and the Jordan River.

[7:23]  ¹ tn Heb “Midian.”

[10:12]  ² tc The translation follows the LXX which reads “Midian”; the Hebrew text has “Maon.”

[10:12]  ³ tn The words “Did I not deliver you” are interpretive. The Hebrew text simply reads, “Is it not from Egypt…when they oppressed you?” Perhaps the incomplete sentence reflects the Lord’s frustration.

[10:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “hand.”

[10:17]  ³ tn Or “were summoned;” or “were mustered.”

[4:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Sisera) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[4:3]  ⁵ tn Regarding the translation “chariots with iron-rimmed wheels,” see Y. Yadin, The Art of Warfare in Biblical Lands, 255, and the article by R. Drews, “The ‘Chariots of Iron’ of Joshua and Judges,” JSOT 45 (1989): 15-23.

[12:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “the men of Ephraim were summoned [or “were mustered”].”

[12:1]  ⁸ tn Heb “Your house we will burn over you with fire.”

[7:24]  ⁶ tn Heb “to meet Midian.”

[7:24]  ⁹ tn Heb “And all the men of Ephraim were summoned.”

[7:24]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “they captured the waters.”
