Judges 5:15

5:15 Issachar’s leaders were with Deborah,

the men of Issachar 1  supported 2  Barak;

into the valley they were sent under Barak’s command. 3 

Among the clans of Reuben there was intense 4  heart searching. 5 

1 tn Heb “Issachar.” The words “the men of” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

2 tn Or “was true to.”

3 tn Heb “at his feet.”

4 tn Heb “great was.”

5 tc The great majority of Hebrew mss have “resolves of heart,” but a few mss read “searchings of heart,” which is preferable in light of v. 16.
