Hakim-hakim 6:26-27

6:26 Then build an altar for the Lord your God on the top of this stronghold according to the proper pattern. ¹  Take the second bull and offer it as a burnt sacrifice on the wood from the Asherah pole that you cut down.” 6:27 So Gideon took ten of his servants ²  and did just as the Lord had told him. He was too afraid of his father’s family ³  and the men of the city to do it in broad daylight, so he waited until nighttime. ⁴ 

[6:26]  ¹ tn Possibly “in a row” or “in a layer,” perhaps referring to the arrangement of the stones used in the altar’s construction.

[6:27]  ² tn Heb “men from among his servants.”

[6:27]  ³ tn Heb “house.”

[6:27]  ⁴ tn Heb “so he did it at night.”
