Judges 21:6

Context
21:6 The Israelites regretted what had happened to 1  their brother Benjamin. They said, “Today we cut off an entire 2  tribe from Israel!

Judges 21:17

Context
21:17 The 3  remnant of Benjamin must be preserved. An entire Israelite tribe should not be wiped out. 4 

1 tn Or “felt sorry for.”

2 tn Heb “cut off one.”

3 tn The Hebrew text has “and they said” at the beginning of the verse. For stylistic reasons the translation treats v. 17 as a continuation of the remarks of the leaders in v. 16.

4 tn Heb “An inheritance for the remnant belonging to Benjamin, and a tribe from Israel will not be wiped away.” The first statement lacks a verb. Some prefer to emend the text to read, “How can an inheritance remain for the remnant of Benjamin?”
