[4:18] 1 tn Heb “Turn aside” (also a second time later in this verse).
[4:18] 2 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Sisera) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[9:7] 3 tn Heb “And they reported to Jotham.” The subject of the plural verb is indefinite.
[9:7] 4 tn Heb “He lifted his voice and called and said to them.”
[10:12] 5 tc The translation follows the LXX which reads “Midian”; the Hebrew text has “Maon.”
[10:12] 6 tn The words “Did I not deliver you” are interpretive. The Hebrew text simply reads, “Is it not from Egypt…when they oppressed you?” Perhaps the incomplete sentence reflects the
[11:7] 8 tn Heb “Did you not hate me and make me leave?”
[11:12] 9 tn Heb “What to me and to you that…?”
[12:3] 10 tn Heb “you were no deliverer.” Codex Alexandrinus (A) of the LXX has “no one was helping.”
[12:3] 11 tn Heb “I put my life in my hand.”
[12:3] 12 tn Heb “crossed over to.”
[12:3] 13 tn The Hebrew adds “against me” here. This is redundant in English and has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons.
[13:6] 14 tn Heb “The man of God.”
[13:6] 15 tn Heb “His appearance was like the appearance of the messenger of God, very awesome.”

[16:10] 19 tn See Gen 31:7; Exod 8:29 [8:25 HT]; Job 13:9; Isa 44:20; Jer 9:4 for other uses of this Hebrew word (II תָּלַל, talal), which also occurs in v. 13.
[16:13] 20 tn Heb “head” (also in the following verse). By metonymy the head is mentioned in the Hebrew text in place of the hair on it.
[16:13] 21 tn Heb “with the web.” For a discussion of how Delilah did this, see C. F. Burney, Judges, 381, and G. F. Moore, Judges (ICC), 353-54.
[18:24] 22 tn Heb “What is this you say to me, ‘What to you?’”
