Judges 5:6

In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael caravans ¹  disappeared; ²  travelers ³  had to go on winding side roads.

Le 26:22; Jud 3:31; Jud 4:17,18; 2Ch 15:5; Ps 125:5; Isa 33:8; La 1:4; La 4:18; Mic 3:12

¹ tc The translation assumes the form אֳרְחוֹת (’orÿkhot, “caravans”) rather than אֳרָחוֹת (’orakhot, “roadways”) because it makes a tighter parallel with “travelers” in the next line.

² tn Or “ceased.”

³ tn Heb “Ones walking on paths.”
