Hakim-hakim 5:31

5:31 May all your enemies perish like this, O Lord!

But may those who love you shine

like the rising sun at its brightest!” ¹ 

And the land had rest for forty years.

Matius 13:43

13:43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. ²  The one who has ears had better listen! ³ 

[5:31]  ¹ tn Heb “But may those who love him be like the going forth of the sun in its strength.”

[13:43]  ² sn An allusion to Dan 12:3.

[13:43]  ³ tn The translation “had better listen!” captures the force of the third person imperative more effectively than the traditional “let him hear,” which sounds more like a permissive than an imperative to the modern English reader. This was Jesus’ common expression to listen and heed carefully (cf. Matt 11:15, 13:9; Mark 4:9, 23; Luke 8:8, 14:35).
