1 tn Or “returned” (i.e., to Eglon’s palace).

2 tn The words “when he reached” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The Hebrew text simply reads “from.”

3 tn Or “idols.”

4 tn The words “to Eglon” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

5 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Eglon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

6 tn Or “Hush!”

7 tn Heb “his mother.” The pronoun (“she”) has been substituted for the noun (“mother”) in the translation because of English style.

8 tn The Hebrew text has “and gave it.” The referent (the pieces of silver) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

9 tn Heb “and it was in Micah’s house.”

10 tn Heb “These went into Micah’s house and took.”

11 tn Heb “erected for themselves.”

12 tn Heb “son.”

13 tc Several ancient textual witnesses, including some LXX mss and the Vulgate, support the reading “Moses” (מֹשֶׁה, mosheh) here. Many Hebrew mss have a nun (נ) suspended above the name between the first two letters (מנשׁה), suggesting the name Manasseh (מְנַשֶּׁה, mÿnasheh). This is probably a scribal attempt to protect Moses’ reputation. For discussion, see G. F. Moore, Judges (ICC), 401-2.

14 tn Heb “sons.”

15 tn Heb “her”; the referent is more naturally stated in English as “the pieces.”

16 tn Heb “throughout all the territory of the inheritance of Israel.”

17 tn Heb “a wicked and disgraceful [thing].”
