3 tn Or “covenant” (also in the following verse).
4 tn Heb “a kid from among the goats.”

8 tn Heb “Midian.”
9 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).
10 tn Heb “thirty daughters he sent off outside.” Another option is to translate, “He arranged for his thirty daughters…” It is not clear if he had more than the “thirty daughters” mentioned in the text.
11 tn Heb “and thirty daughters he brought for his sons from the outside.”
12 tn Heb “He”; the referent (Ibzan) has been specified in the translation for clarity and for English stylistic reasons.
