Judges 11:13

Context
11:13 The Ammonite king said to Jephthah’s messengers, “Because Israel stole 1  my land when they 2  came up from Egypt – from the Arnon River in the south to the Jabbok River in the north, and as far west as the Jordan. 3  Now return it 4  peaceably!”

Judges 19:3

Context
19:3 her husband came 5  after her, hoping he could convince her to return. 6  He brought with him his servant 7  and a pair of donkeys. When she brought him into her father’s house and the girl’s father saw him, he greeted him warmly. 8 

1 tn Or “took”; or “seized.”

2 tn Heb “he” (a collective singular).

3 tn Heb “from the Arnon to the Jabbok and to the Jordan.” The word “River” has been supplied in the translation with “Arnon” and “Jabbok,” because these are less familiar to modern readers than the Jordan.

4 tc The translation assumes a singular suffix (“[return] it”); the Hebrew text has a plural suffix (“[return] them”), which, if retained, might refer to the cities of the land.

5 tn Heb “arose and came.”

6 tn Heb “to speak to her heart to bring her back.”

7 tn Or “young man.”

8 tn Heb “he was happy to meet him.”
