Discovery BoxJudges 6:29

Judges 6:32

1 tn Heb “each one to his neighbor.”
2 tn Heb “this thing.”
3 tn Heb “they inquired and searched.” The synonyms are joined to emphasize the care with which they conducted their inquiry.
4 tn Heb “and said.” Perhaps the plural subject is indefinite. If so, it could be translated, “they were told.”
5 tn Heb “He called him on that day Jerub-Baal.” The name means, at least by popular etymology, “Let Baal fight!”
