Judges 7:4

Judges 7:24

Judges 20:10
Context20:10 We will take ten of every group of a hundred men from all the tribes of Israel (and a hundred of every group of a thousand, and a thousand of every group of ten thousand) to get supplies for the army. 14 When they arrive in Gibeah of Benjamin they will punish them for the atrocity which they committed in Israel.” 15
1 tn Heb “sent and summoned.”
2 tn Or “Take a bull from your father’s herd, the second one, the one seven years old.” Apparently Gideon would need the bulls to pull down the altar.
3 tn Possibly “in a row” or “in a layer,” perhaps referring to the arrangement of the stones used in the altar’s construction.
4 tn Heb “too many people.”
5 tn Heb “test them for you there.”
6 tn Heb “he should go with you.”
7 tn Heb also has “to you.”
8 tn Heb “he should not go.”
9 tn Heb “to meet Midian.”
10 tn Heb “capture before them the waters.”
11 tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for clarification (also later in this verse).
12 tn Heb “And all the men of Ephraim were summoned.”
13 tn Heb “they captured the waters.”
14 tn Or “people.”
15 tn Heb “to do at their arrival in Geba of Benjamin according to all the disgraceful [thing] which he [collective = “Benjamin”] did in Israel.” Here “Geba” must be an error for “Gibeah.”
