Judges 6:13-14

Context
6:13 Gideon said to him, “Pardon me, 1  but if the Lord is with us, why has such disaster 2  overtaken us? Where are all his miraculous deeds our ancestors told us about? They said, 3  ‘Did the Lord not bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the Lord has abandoned us and handed us over to Midian.” 6:14 Then the Lord himself 4  turned to him and said, “You have the strength. 5  Deliver Israel from the power of the Midianites! 6  Have I not sent you?”

1 tn Heb “But my lord.”

2 tn Heb “all this.”

3 tn Heb “saying.”

4 sn Some interpreters equate the Lord and the messenger in this story, but they are more likely distinct. In vv. 22-23 the Lord and Gideon continue to carry on a conversation after the messenger has vanished (v. 21).

5 tn Heb “Go in this strength of yours.”

6 tn Heb “the hand of Midian.”
