1 tn The words “the doors” are supplied.
2 tn Heb “See, their master, fallen to the ground, dead.”
3 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.
4 tn The Hebrew text repeats the verb “executed.” This has not been repeated in the translation for stylistic reasons.
5 tn Heb “Midian.”
6 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).
7 tn Or “people.”
8 tn Heb “to do at their arrival in Geba of Benjamin according to all the disgraceful [thing] which he [collective = “Benjamin”] did in Israel.” Here “Geba” must be an error for “Gibeah.”

11 tn Heb “from the army wounded ones.”
