¹ tc Heb “threw his life out in front,” that is, “exposed himself to danger.” The MT form מִנֶּגֶד (minneged, “from before”) should probably be read as מִנֶּגְדּוֹ (minnegdo, “from before him”); haplography of vav has likely occurred here in the MT.

² tn Heb “hand.”

³ tn Heb “seventy brothers.”

⁴ tn Heb “Now he was the son of a woman, a prostitute, and Gilead fathered Jephthah.”

⁵ tn Heb “and the man arose to go.”

⁶ tn Heb “his father-in-law persuaded him and he again spent the night there.”
