Hakim-hakim 11:17
Konteks11:17 Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, “Please allow us 1 to pass through your land.” But the king of Edom rejected the request. 2 Israel sent the same request to the king of Moab, but he was unwilling to cooperate. 3 So Israel stayed at Kadesh.
Hakim-hakim 20:43
Konteks20:43 They surrounded the Benjaminites, chased them from Nohah, 4 and annihilated 5 them all the way to a spot east of Geba. 6
[11:17] 1 tn Heb “me.” (Collective Israel is the speaker.)
[11:17] 2 tn Heb “did not listen.”
[11:17] 3 tn Heb “Also to the king of Moab he sent, but he was unwilling.”
[20:43] 4 tc The translation assumes the reading מִנּוֹחָה (minnokhah, “from Nohah”; cf. 1 Chr 8:2) rather than the MT’s מְנוּחָה (mÿnukhah, “resting place”).
[20:43] 5 tn Heb “tread down, walk on.”
[20:43] 6 tn Heb “unto the opposite of Gibeah toward the east.” Gibeah cannot be correct here, since the Benjaminites retreated from there toward the desert and Rimmon (see v. 45). A slight emendation yields the reading “Geba.”
