[5:1]  ¹ tn The words “this victory song” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[5:12]  ² tn Heb “take captive your captives.” (The Hebrew text uses a cognate accusative here.)

[5:15]  ³ tn Heb “Issachar.” The words “the men of” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[5:15]  ⁴ tn Or “was true to.”

[5:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “at his feet.”

[5:15]  ⁶ tn Heb “great was.”

[5:15]  ⁷ tc The great majority of Hebrew mss have “resolves of heart,” but a few mss read “searchings of heart,” which is preferable in light of v. 16.

[5:1]  ⁸ tn The words “this victory song” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[12:11]  ⁹ sn Jerub-Baal (יְרֻבַּעַל) is also known as Gideon (see Judg 6:32). The Book of Judges uses both names for him.

[12:11]  ¹⁰ tc The MT has “Bedan” (בְּדָן) here (cf. KJV, NASB, CEV). But a deliverer by this name is not elsewhere mentioned in the OT. The translation follows the LXX and the Syriac Peshitta in reading “Barak.”

[12:11]  ¹¹ tc In the ancient versions there is some confusion with regard to these names, both with regard to the particular names selected for mention and with regard to the order in which they are listed. For example, the LXX has “Jerub-Baal, Barak, Jephthah, and Samuel.” But the Targum has “Gideon, Samson, Jephthah, and Samuel,” while the Syriac Peshitta has “Deborah, Barak, Gideon, Jephthah, and Samson.”
