Judges 5:6

5:6 In the days of Shamgar son of Anath,

in the days of Jael caravans ¹  disappeared; ² 

travelers ³  had to go on winding side roads.

Judges 21:3

21:3 They said, “Why, O Lord God of Israel, has this happened in Israel?” An entire ⁴  tribe has disappeared from Israel today!”

¹ tc The translation assumes the form אֳרְחוֹת (’orÿkhot, “caravans”) rather than אֳרָחוֹת (’orakhot, “roadways”) because it makes a tighter parallel with “travelers” in the next line.

² tn Or “ceased.”

³ tn Heb “Ones walking on paths.”

⁴ tn Heb “one.”
