Judges 5:23

Context

5:23 ‘Call judgment down on 1  Meroz,’ says the Lord’s angelic 2  messenger;

‘Be sure 3  to call judgment down on 4  those who live there,

because they did not come to help in the Lord’s battle, 5 

to help in the Lord’s battle against the warriors.’ 6 

1 tn Heb “Curse Meroz.”

2 tn The adjective “angelic” is interpretive.

3 tn Heb “Curse, cursing.” The Hebrew construction is emphatic.

4 tn Heb “[to] curse.”

5 tn Heb “to the help of the Lord” (the same Hebrew phrase occurs in the following line). Another option is to read “to aid the Lord’s cause.”

6 tn Or “along with the other warriors.”
