¹ tn Heb “All that generation were gathered to their fathers.”

² tn Heb “arose after them.”

³ tn Heb “that did not know the Lord or the work which he had done for Israel.” The expressions “personally experienced” and “seen” are interpretive.

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

⁵ tn Or “routed”; Heb “caused to panic.”

⁶ tn Heb “they set up for themselves.”

⁷ tn Heb “the carved image that Micah had made.”

⁸ tn Heb “the house of God.”

⁹ tc The MT reads the plural, but surely the singular (which is supported by the LXX and Vulgate) is preferable here.

¹⁰ tn Heb “What is this wicked thing which happened among you?”

¹¹ tn Heb “hurried and put off [their hiding place].”

¹² tn Heb “the men hiding in ambush.”

¹³ tn Or “deployed.” The verb normally means “to lead” or “to draw.”
