Hakim-hakim 4:21

Hakim-hakim 19:25

19:25 The men refused to listen to him, so the Levite ⁴  grabbed his concubine and made her go outside. ⁵  They raped ⁶  her and abused her all night long until morning. They let her go at dawn.

[4:21]  ¹ tn Heb “took a tent peg and put a hammer in her hand.”

[4:21]  ² tn Heb “and it went into the ground.”

[4:21]  ³ tn Heb “and exhausted.” Another option is to understand this as a reference to the result of the fatal blow. In this case, the phrase could be translated, “and he breathed his last.”

[19:25]  ⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the Levite) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:25]  ⁵ tn Heb “and he caused [her] to go outside to them.”

[19:25]  ⁶ tn Heb “knew,” in the sexual sense.
