Judges 7:8

7:8 The men ¹  who were chosen ²  took supplies ³  and their trumpets. Gideon ⁴  sent all the men of Israel back to their homes; ⁵  he kept only three hundred men. Now the Midianites ⁶  were camped down below ⁷  in the valley.

Judges 20:10

20:10 We will take ten of every group of a hundred men from all the tribes of Israel (and a hundred of every group of a thousand, and a thousand of every group of ten thousand) to get supplies for the army. ⁸  When they arrive in Gibeah of Benjamin they will punish them for the atrocity which they committed in Israel.” ⁹

[7:8]  ² tn The words “who were chosen” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[7:8]  ³ tn The Hebrew text has “in their hands.”

[7:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Gideon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “tents.”

[7:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “Midian.”

[7:8]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew text adds “him” (i.e., Gideon).

[20:10]  ⁸ tn Or “people.”

[20:10]  ⁹ tn Heb “to do at their arrival in Geba of Benjamin according to all the disgraceful [thing] which he [collective = “Benjamin”] did in Israel.” Here “Geba” must be an error for “Gibeah.”
