Context10:18 The leaders 7 of Gilead said to one another, “Who is willing to lead the charge 8 against the Ammonites? He will become the leader of all who live in Gilead!”


[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] 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).
[8:3] 5 tn Heb “What was I able to do compared to you?”
[8:3] 6 tn Heb “Then their spirits relaxed from against him, when he spoke this word.”
