[1:35]  ¹ tn Or “were determined.”

[1:35]  ² tn Or “Mount Heres”; the term הַר (har) means “mount” or “mountain” in Hebrew.

[1:35]  ³ tn Heb “Whenever the hand of the tribe of Joseph was heavy.”

[3:3]  ⁴ tn The words “These were the nations,” though not present in the Hebrew text, are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[3:3]  ⁵ tn Or “the entrance to Hamath.”

[6:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “Do not fear.”

[6:10]  ⁷ tn Heb “you have not listened to my voice.”

[9:6]  ⁸ tc The translation assumes that the form in the Hebrew text (מֻצָּב, mutsav) is a corruption of an original מַצֵּבָה (matsevah, “pillar”). The reference is probably to a pagan object of worship (cf. LXX).

[10:1]  ⁹ tn The word “death” has been supplied in the translation for clarification.

[10:1]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “son.”

[10:1]  ¹¹ tn Heb “a man of Issachar.”

[11:3]  ¹² tn Or “fled from.”

[11:3]  ¹³ tn Heb “brothers.”

[11:3]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “Empty men joined themselves to Jephthah and went out with him.”

[11:11]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “spoke all his words.” This probably refers to the “words” recorded in v. 9. Jephthah repeats the terms of the agreement at the Lord’s sanctuary, perhaps to ratify the contract or to emphasize the Gileadites’ obligation to keep their part of the bargain. Another option is to translate, “Jephthah conducted business before the Lord in Mizpah.” In this case, the statement is a general reference to the way Jephthah ruled. He recognized the Lord’s authority and made his decisions before the Lord.

[15:8]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “He struck them, calf on thigh, [with] a great slaughter.” The precise meaning of the phrase “calf on thigh” is uncertain.
