[1:20]  ¹ tn Heb “they gave to Caleb.”

[1:30]  ² tn Heb “the people living in Kitron and the people living in Nahalol.”

[1:34]  ³ tn Heb “come down into.”

[6:38]  ⁴ tn Heb “And it was so.”

[6:38]  ⁵ tn Heb “dew dripped from the fleece – a bowl full of water.”

[6:40]  ⁶ tn Heb “God did so that night.”

[8:9]  ⁷ tn Heb “said to.” The translation “threatened” is interpretive, but is clearly indicated by the context.

[8:9]  ⁸ tn Heb “saying.”

[8:9]  ⁹ tn Or “safely.” Heb “in peace.”

[9:11]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “Should I stop my sweetness and my good fruit and go to sway over the trees? The negative sentence in the translation reflects the force of the rhetorical question.

[9:34]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and all the people who were with him arose.”

[9:34]  ¹² tn Heb “four heads.” The words “they divided into” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[10:16]  ¹³ tn Heb “from their midst.”

[10:16]  ¹⁴ tn Or “served”; or “followed.”

[10:16]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “And his spirit grew short [i.e., impatient] with the suffering of Israel.” The Hebrew noun נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh) also appears as the subject of the verb קָצַר (qatsar) in Num 21:4 (the Israelites grow impatient wandering in the wilderness), Judg 16:16 (Samson grows impatient with Delilah’s constant nagging), and Zech 11:8 (Zechariah grows impatient with the three negligent “shepherds”).

[11:12]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “What to me and to you that…?”

[13:17]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “Who your name? For [when] your word comes [to pass], we will honor you.” Manoah apparently gets tongue-tied and uses the wrong pronoun (“who” instead of “what”). He starts to say, “Who are you?” But then he switches to “your name” as if he began the sentence with “what.” See R. G. Boling, Judges (AB), 222.

[17:6]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “Each was doing what was right in his [own] eyes.”

[21:3]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “one.”

[21:6]  ²⁰ tn Or “felt sorry for.”

[21:6]  ²¹ tn Heb “cut off one.”
