Kejadian 49:6

49:6 O my soul, do not come into their council,

do not be united to their assembly, my heart, ¹ 

for in their anger they have killed men,

and for pleasure they have hamstrung oxen.

Yosua 11:9

11:9 Joshua did to them as the Lord had commanded him; he hamstrung their horses and burned ²  their chariots.

[49:6]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text reads “my glory,” but it is preferable to repoint the form and read “my liver.” The liver was sometimes viewed as the seat of the emotions and will (see HALOT 456 s.v. II כָּבֵד) for which the heart is the modern equivalent.

[11:9]  ² tn Heb “burned with fire”; the words “with fire” are redundant in English and have not been included in the translation.
