[7:25]  1 sn The names Oreb and Zeeb, which mean “Raven” and “Wolf” respectively, are appropriate because the Midianites had been like scavengers and predators to Israel.

[7:25]  2 tn The Hebrew text repeats the verb “executed.” This has not been repeated in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[7:25]  3 tn Heb “Midian.”

[7:25]  4 tn Heb “beyond the Jordan.” The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text but has been supplied in the translation for clarity (also in 8:4).

[16:3]  5 tn Heb “And Samson lay until the middle of the night and arose in the middle of the night.”

[16:3]  6 tn Heb “with the bar.”
