[8:30]  ¹ tn Heb “Gideon had seventy sons who went out from his thigh, for he had many wives.” The Hebrew word יָרֵךְ (yarekh, “thigh”) is a euphemism here for the penis.

[7:20]  ² tn The Hebrew text adds, “in order to blow [them].” This has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons.
