Hakim-hakim 5:6

5:6 In the days of Shamgar son of Anath,

in the days of Jael caravans ¹  disappeared; ² 

travelers ³  had to go on winding side roads.

Yesaya 30:21

30:21 You ⁴  will hear a word spoken behind you, saying,

“This is the correct ⁵  way, walk in it,”

whether you are heading to the right or the left.

[5:6]  ¹ tc The translation assumes the form אֳרְחוֹת (’orÿkhot, “caravans”) rather than אֳרָחוֹת (’orakhot, “roadways”) because it makes a tighter parallel with “travelers” in the next line.

[5:6]  ² tn Or “ceased.”

[5:6]  ³ tn Heb “Ones walking on paths.”

[30:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “your ears” (so NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[30:21]  ⁵ tn The word “correct’ is supplied in the translation for clarification.
