Judges 6:25

Gideon Destroys the Altar

6:25 That night the Lord said to him, “Take the bull from your father’s herd, as well as a second bull, one that is seven years old. ¹  Pull down your father’s Baal altar and cut down the nearby Asherah pole.

Judges 18:2

18:2 The Danites sent out from their whole tribe five representatives, ²  capable men ³  from Zorah and Eshtaol, to spy out the land and explore it. They said to them, “Go, explore the land.” They came to the Ephraimite hill country and spent the night at Micah’s house. ⁴

¹ tn Or “Take a bull from your father’s herd, the second one, the one seven years old.” Apparently Gideon would need the bulls to pull down the altar.

² tn Heb “The Danites sent from their tribe five men, from their borders.”

³ tn Heb “men, sons of strength.”

⁴ tn Heb “They came to the Ephraimite hill country, to Micah’s house, and spent the night there.”
