NET © Notes |
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. 2 tn The Hebrew text repeats the verb “executed.” This has not been repeated in the translation for stylistic reasons. 3 tn Heb “Midian.” 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). |
