Hakim-hakim 19:11

19:11 When they got near Jebus, it was getting quite late ¹  and the servant ²  said to his master, “Come on, let’s stop at ³  this Jebusite city and spend the night in it.”

Hakim-hakim 21:17

21:17 The ⁴  remnant of Benjamin must be preserved. An entire Israelite tribe should not be wiped out. ⁵ 

[19:11]  ¹ tn Heb “and the day was descending greatly.”

[19:11]  ² tn Or “young man.”

[19:11]  ³ tn Heb “turn aside” (also in the following verse).

[21:17]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew text has “and they said” at the beginning of the verse. For stylistic reasons the translation treats v. 17 as a continuation of the remarks of the leaders in v. 16.

[21:17]  ⁵ tn Heb “An inheritance for the remnant belonging to Benjamin, and a tribe from Israel will not be wiped away.” The first statement lacks a verb. Some prefer to emend the text to read, “How can an inheritance remain for the remnant of Benjamin?”
