Hakim-hakim 2:14

2:14 The Lord was furious with Israel ⁴  and handed them over to robbers who plundered them. ⁵  He turned them over to ⁶  their enemies who lived around them. They could not withstand their enemies’ attacks. ⁷ 

[2:10]  ¹ tn Heb “All that generation were gathered to their fathers.”

[2:10]  ² tn Heb “arose after them.”

[2:10]  ³ tn Heb “that did not know the Lord or the work which he had done for Israel.” The expressions “personally experienced” and “seen” are interpretive.

[2:14]  ⁴ tn Or “The Lord’s anger burned [or “raged”] against Israel.”

[2:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “robbers who robbed them.” (The verb שָׁסָה [shasah] appears twice in the verse.)

[2:14]  sn The expression robbers who plundered them is a derogatory reference to the enemy nations, as the next line indicates.

[2:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “sold them into the hands of.”

[2:14]  ⁷ tn The word “attacks” is supplied in the translation both for clarity and for stylistic reasons.
