Hakim-hakim 12:1

Civil Strife Mars the Victory

12:1 The Ephraimites assembled ⁴  and crossed over to Zaphon. They said to Jephthah, “Why did you go and fight ⁵  with the Ammonites without asking ⁶  us to go with you? We will burn your house down right over you!” ⁷ 

[1:3]  ¹ tn Heb “Judah said to Simeon, his brother.”

[1:3]  ² tn Heb “Come up with me into our allotted land and let us attack the Canaanites.”

[1:3]  ³ tn Heb “I.” The Hebrew pronoun is singular, agreeing with the collective singular “Judah” earlier in the verse. English style requires a plural pronoun here, however.

[12:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “the men of Ephraim were summoned [or “were mustered”].”

[12:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “cross over to fight.”

[12:1]  ⁶ tn Or “calling”; or “summoning.”

[12:1]  ⁷ tn Heb “Your house we will burn over you with fire.”
