9:57 j479 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-gendernotations אַנְשֵׁ֣י שְׁכֶ֔ם 1 Here the masculine term **men** seems to have a generic sense. The author specifies in [9:49](../09/49.md) that both “men and women” died when the tower of Shechem burned, so this summary reference to that punishment would include both men and women. Alternate translation: “the people of Shechem”
9:57 j480 rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-collectivenouns בְּ⁠רֹאשָׁ֑⁠ם 1 Since the author is referring to a group of people, if you retain this image in your translation, it might be more natural in your language to use the plural form of **head**. Alternate translation: “upon their heads”
9:57 hua1 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor וַ⁠תָּבֹ֣א אֲלֵי⁠הֶ֔ם קִֽלֲלַ֖ת יוֹתָ֥ם בֶּן־יְרֻבָּֽעַל 1 The author is speaking as if the **curse of Jotham** literally **came upon** the people of Shechem. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and everything happened to them just as Jotham, the son of Jerubbaal, said it would when he cursed them”
10:intro zqn2 0 # Judges 10 General Notes\n\n## Structure and Formatting\n\nThis chapter begins the account of Jephthah ([Judges 10–12](./01.md)).\n\n## Religious and Cultural Concepts in This Chapter\n\n### Israel’s punishment\nIn Judges, Israel’s actions are connected to their obedience to Yahweh. When Israel does evil, they are oppressed. (See: [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/evil]] and [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/other/oppress]])
10:1 g7ww rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-names Tola & Puah & Dodo & Shamir 1 The words **Tola**, **Puah**, and **Dodo** are the names of men, and the word **Shamir** is the name of a town.
10:1 lxh7 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom arose to save Israel 1 As in [5:7](../05/07.md), the author is using the expression **arose** to mean that Tola took on a particular role. See how you translated the expression there. Alternate translation: “became the next deliverer of Israel”
10:2 unp5 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive and was buried 1 If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “and they buried him”
10:3 m9uk rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-names Jair 1 The word **Jair** is the name of a man.
10:3 fmn8 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom arose 1 See how you translated the same expression in [10:2](../10/02.md). Alternate translation: “became the next deliverer”
10:4 j481 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-possession And it was to him 30 sons 1 This is a possessive form that the author is using to indicate that Jair was the father of these **30 sons**. Your language may have an equivalent expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: “And he had 30 sons”
10:4 i1hv rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction riding on 30 donkeys 1 In this culture at this time, Jair’s sons **riding** on these **donkeys** was a symbolic action that indicated that they were young men of wealth and status. This, in turn, indicated that Jair himself was wealthy and influential. Alternate translation: “each of whom he could afford to give a donkey to ride”
10:4 j482 rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-pronouns they call them 1 Here, **they** is an indefinite pronoun that does not have a specific referent in the immediate context. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this with a different expression that does not use an indefinite pronoun. Alternate translation: “they are called”
10:4 vb1y rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-names Havvoth Jair 1 **Havvoth Jair** is the name of a group of cities.
10:4 j483 rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-transliterate Havvoth Jair 1 In your translation, you could spell this name the way it sounds in your language, the way the ULT does. However, this name means the Cities of Jair, and If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say that in your translation instead. Alternate translation: “the Cities of Jair”
10:4 h644 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit to this day 1 By **this day**, the author means the time when he was writing. He and his audience knew when that was, but we are not entirely sure of it today. It may be helpful to use a general expression in your translation. Alternate translation: “at this time”
10:5 t8ka rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive and was buried 1 If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “and they buried him”
10:5 s19j rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-names Kamon 1 The word **Kamon** is the name of a town.
10:6 ki1z rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy evil in the eyes of Yahweh 1 See how you translated the same expression in [2:11](../02/11.md). Alternate translation: “what was evil in Yahweh’s judgment”
10:6 p7j4 rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-names the Baals and the Ashtoreths 1 See how you translated the similar expression in [2:11](../02/11.md). Alternate translation: “many false gods and goddesses”
10:6 j484 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-possession and the gods of Aram and the gods of Sidon and the gods of Moab and the gods of the sons of Ammon and the gods of the Philistines 1 See the discussion in the General Notes to this chapter for a suggestion about how to use slightly different possessive forms here in your translation to reflect a distinction that the author is making.
10:6 r515 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism And they forsook Yahweh and did not serve him. 1 For emphasis, the author is saying basically the same thing twice, first positively and then negatively. If it would be clearer in your language, you could combine these statements. Alternate translation: “And they completely stopped worshiping Yahweh”
10:7 zf61 rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-newevent Then the nose of Yahweh burned 1 The author is introducing a new event in the story. The ULT indicates this with the word **Then**. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.
10:7 f4v2 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor Then the nose of Yahweh burned against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines and into the hand of the sons of Ammon. 1 See how you translated the expressions “the nose of Yahweh burned” and “he sold them into the hand of” in [3:8](../03/08.md). Alternate translation: “Then Yahweh became furious with Israel, and he made them subjects of the Philistines and the Ammonites”
10:7 j485 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-infostructure into the hand of the Philistines and into the hand of the sons of Ammon 1 See the discussion of this phrase in the General Notes to this chapter. Alternate translation: “into the hand of the sons of Ammon and into the hand of the Philistines”
10:8 j486 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-events And they shattered and crushed the sons of Israel in that year. {For} 18 years, all the sons of Israel who {were} on the other side of the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which {is} in Gilead. 1 The author is describing one event before describing an event that preceded it. In your translation, you may wish to relate these events in the order in which they happened. The UST models one way to do this.
10:8 q2ml rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit And they shattered and crushed the sons of Israel in that year 1 The author is using the phrase **in that year** to mean implicitly that the Ammonites began to oppress all of the Israelites, not just the ones living east of the Jordan, as soon as Yahweh decided in his anger to punish and discipline the Israelites. If you decide to relate the events in this verse in the same order that the author does, you could indicate this explicitly in your translation. Alternate translation: “Right away the Ammonites began to shatter and crush all of the Israelites”
10:8 j487 rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-pronouns And they shattered and crushed 1 The pronoun **they** refers to the “sons of Ammon” or Ammonites, as the next verse makes clear. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “And the Ammonites shattered and crushed”
10:8 j488 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor And they shattered and crushed 1 The author is speaking as if the Israelites had literally been an object such as a clay jar that could be **shattered** or a skull that could be **crushed**. (The author uses the same verb for “crush” in [9:53](../09/53.md) to describe what the millstone did to Abimelek’s skull.) If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “And they afflicted and oppressed”
10:8 psa9 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet And they shattered and crushed 1 The terms **shattered** and **crushed** mean similar things. The author is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “And they severely oppressed”
10:8 j489 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis {For} 18 years, all the sons of Israel who {were} on the other side of the Jordan 1 The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “For the previous 18 years, they had oppressed all the sons of Israel who were on the other side of the Jordan”
10:8 msz6 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit {were} on the other side of the Jordan 1 The author is speaking from a vantage point west of the Jordan River, so **the other side** implicitly means the east side. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “were on the east side of the Jordan”
10:8 j490 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-possession in the land of the Amorites 1 The author is using this possessive form to provide a more specific description of where these Israelites were living. He is referring to the land that the Israelites conquered from the Amorites. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “in the land that the Israelites conquered from the Amorites”
10:8 b5w4 rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-background which {is} in Gilead 1 The author is using this phrase to indicate that the land he is describing is the area that his readers probably know better as **Gilead**. Alternate translation: “which is now known as Gilead”
10:8 nt9c rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor and with the house of Ephraim 1 The author is using the word **house** to mean all the people descended from a particular person. So by **the house of Ephraim**, he means all the people descended from Ephraim, who was one of the twelve sons of Jacob. It is not clear why he uses this expression for this tribe but not for the other two tribes he mentions. In your translation, you could speak of **Ephraim** the same way the author speaks of **Judah** and **Benjamin**. Alternate translation: “and with Ephraim”
10:9 gl3b rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor and it narrowed to Israel greatly 1 See how you translated the same expression in [2:15](../02/15.md). Alternate translation: “and the Israelites were in great distress”
10:10 t38a rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-123person our God 1 Although the Israelites are praying to Yahweh, they are speaking about him in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the second person. Alternate translation: “you, our God”
10:intro zqn2 0 # Judges 10 General Notes\n\n## Structure and Formatting\n\nThis chapter introduces the account of Jephthah, which continues in Chapters 11 and 12.\n\n### Literary devices that point to structure\n\nPossessive forms\n\nWithin the list of people groups in [10:6](../10/06.md), the author uses slightly different possessive forms to make a distinction that is significant for what happens as the book continues. He uses the name of a country or city to speak of the gods of Aram, Sidon, and Moab. But he describes the inhabitants of a country or cities when he speaks of the gods of “the sons of Ammon” and “the Philistines.” This is because, as the next verse indicates, it was the Ammonites and the Philistines who next conquered and oppressed the Israelites and whom the next two judges opposed. Jephthah defeated the Ammonites, as chapters 11 and 12 describe, and Samson fought against the Philistines, as chapters 13–16 describe. If possible, use slightly different possessive forms in your own translation to reflect this distinction. The UST models one way to do this.\n\nOrder of information\n\nIn [10:7](../10/07.md), the author presents new information in a particular order for a specific reason. In the book, he relates the oppression by the Ammonites and the deliverance by Jephthah in chapters 10–12, before he describes the oppression by the Philistines and the resistance of Samson in chapters 13–16. But in this verse he is creating a special arrangement between the phrase “into the hand of the Philistines and into the hand of the sons of Ammon” and those next sections of the book. This arrangement is known as a chiasm. In it, the first and last parts match and the middle parts match. In other words, the author is creating this arrangement: Philistines—Ammonites (this phrase); Ammonites—Philistines (the next sections of the book). However, if it would better help your readers to recognize how this phrase introduces the following accounts of Jephthah and Samson, you could name these people groups in the order in which they feature in the narrative. You might say, in other words, “into the hand of the sons of Ammon and into the hand of the Philistines”\n
10:1 g7ww rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-names תּוֹלָ֧ע & פּוּאָ֛ה & דּוֹד֖וֹ & בְּ⁠שָׁמִ֖יר 1 The words **Tola**, **Puah**, and **Dodo** are the names of men, and the word **Shamir** is the name of a town.

See how you translated the expression there. Alternate translation: “Now … became the next deliverer of Israel”
10:2 unp5 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive וַ⁠יִּקָּבֵ֥ר 1 If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “and they buried him”

10:3 fmn8 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom וַ⁠יָּ֣קָם 1 See how you translated the same expression in [10:2](../10/02.md). Alternate translation: “And … became the next deliverer”
10:4 j481 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-possession וַֽ⁠יְהִי־ל֞⁠וֹ שְׁלֹשִׁ֣ים בָּנִ֗ים 1 This is a possessive form that the author is using to indicate that Jair was the father of these **30 sons**. Your language may have an equivalent expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: “And he had 30 sons”
10:4 i1hv rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction רֹֽכְבִים֙ עַל־שְׁלֹשִׁ֣ים עֲיָרִ֔ים 1 In this culture at this time, Jair’s sons **riding** on these **donkeys** was a symbolic action that indicated that they were young men of wealth and status. This, in turn, indicated that Jair himself was wealthy and influential. Alternate translation: “each of whom he could afford to give a donkey to ride”
10:4 j482 rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-pronouns לָ⁠הֶ֞ם יִקְרְא֣וּ 1 Here, **they** is an indefinite pronoun that does not have a specific referent in the immediate context. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this with a different expression that does not use an indefinite pronoun. Alternate translation: “they are called”
10:4 vb1y rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-names חַוֺּ֣ת יָאִ֗יר 1 **Havvoth Jair** is the name of a group of cities.
10:4 j483 rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-transliterate חַוֺּ֣ת יָאִ֗יר 1 In your translation, you could spell this name the way it sounds in your language, the way the ULT does. However, this name means the Cities of Jair, and If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say that in your translation instead. Alternate translation: “the Cities of Jair”
10:4 h644 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit עַ֚ד הַ⁠יּ֣וֹם הַ⁠זֶּ֔ה 1 By **this day**, the author means the time when he was writing. He and his audience knew when that was, but we are not entirely sure of it today. It may be helpful to use a general expression in your translation. Alternate translation: “at this time”
10:5 t8ka rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive וַ⁠יִּקָּבֵ֖ר 1 If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “and they buried him”
10:5 s19j rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-names בְּ⁠קָמֽוֹן 1 The word **Kamon** is the name of a town.
10:6 ki1z rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy הָ⁠רַע֮ בְּ⁠עֵינֵ֣י יְהוָה֒ 1 See how you translated the same expression in [2:11](../02/11.md). Alternate translation: “what was evil in Yahweh’s judgment”
10:6 p7j4 rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-names אֶת־הַ⁠בְּעָלִ֣ים וְ⁠אֶת־הָ⁠עַשְׁתָּר֡וֹת 1 See how you translated the similar expression in [2:11](../02/11.md). Alternate translation: “many false gods and goddesses”
10:6 j484 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-possession וְ⁠אֶת־אֱלֹהֵ֣י אֲרָם֩ וְ⁠אֶת־אֱלֹהֵ֨י צִיד֜וֹן וְ⁠אֵ֣ת ׀ אֱלֹהֵ֣י מוֹאָ֗ב וְ⁠אֵת֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י בְנֵי־עַמּ֔וֹן וְ⁠אֵ֖ת אֱלֹהֵ֣י פְלִשְׁתִּ֑ים 1 See the discussion in the General Notes to this chapter for a suggestion about how to use slightly different possessive forms here in your translation to reflect a distinction that the author is making.
10:6 r515 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism וַ⁠יַּעַזְב֥וּ אֶת־יְהוָ֖ה וְ⁠לֹ֥א עֲבָדֽוּ⁠הוּ 1 For emphasis, the author is saying basically the same thing twice, first positively and then negatively. If it would be clearer in your language, you could combine these statements. Alternate translation: “And they completely stopped worshiping Yahweh”
10:7 f4v2 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor וַ⁠יִּֽחַר־אַ֥ף יְהוָ֖ה בְּ⁠יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַֽ⁠יִּמְכְּרֵ⁠ם֙ בְּ⁠יַד־פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים וּ⁠בְ⁠יַ֖ד בְּנֵ֥י עַמּֽוֹן 1 See how you translated the expressions “the nose of Yahweh burned” and “he sold them into the hand of” in [3:8](../03/08.md). Alternate translation: “Then Yahweh became furious with Israel, and he made them subjects of the Philistines and the Ammonites”
10:7 zf61 rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-newevent וַ⁠יִּֽחַר־אַ֥ף יְהוָ֖ה 1 The author is introducing a new event in the story. The ULT indicates this with the word **Then**. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.
10:7 j485 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-infostructure בְּ⁠יַד־פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים וּ⁠בְ⁠יַ֖ד בְּנֵ֥י עַמּֽוֹן 1 See the discussion of this phrase in the General Notes to this chapter. Alternate translation: “into the hand of the sons of Ammon and into the hand of the Philistines”

Alternate translation: “in the land that the Israelites conquered from the Amorites”
10:8 b5w4 rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-background אֲשֶׁ֥ר בַּ⁠גִּלְעָֽד 1 The author is using this phrase to indicate that the land he is describing is the area that his readers probably know better as **Gilead**. Alternate translation: “which is now known as Gilead”
10:9 nt9c rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor וּ⁠בְ⁠בֵ֣ית אֶפְרָ֑יִם 1 The author is using the word **house** to mean all the people descended from a particular person. So by **the house of Ephraim**, he means all the people descended from Ephraim, who was one of the twelve sons of Jacob. It is not clear why he uses this expression for this tribe but not for the other two tribes he mentions.

10:9 gl3b rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor וַ⁠תֵּ֥צֶר לְ⁠יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מְאֹֽד 1 See how you translated the same expression in [2:15](../02/15.md). Alternate translation: “and the Israelites were in great distress”
10:10 t38a rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-123person אֶת־אֱלֹהֵ֔י⁠נוּ 1 Although the Israelites are praying to Yahweh, they are speaking about him in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the second person. Alternate translation: “you, our God”
10:11 lf73 rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-versebridge 1 In this verse and the next verse, Yahweh is asking the Israelites a long question, using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. In order to do that, you could create a verse bridge for verses 11–12. You might have Yahweh say something like this: “When the Egyptians and Amorites and Ammonites and Philistines and Sidonians and Amalekites and Maonites oppressed you, you cried out to me, and I saved you from their hand!”
10:12 w39a rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-names Maon 1 The word **Maon** is the name of a people group.
10:12 e4ml rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy from their hand 1 See how you translated the same expression in [2:14](../02/14.md). Alternate translation: “from their power”
10:14 j491 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-irony Go and cry out to the gods that you have chosen. Let them save you in the time of your distress 1 Yahweh does not really want the Israelites to **cry out** to other **gods** for help. He means to communicate emphatically the opposite of the literal meaning of his words. Alternate translation: “You have no right to cry out to me to save you in your time of distress when you have chosen other gods!”
10:15 j492 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy according to all of the good in your eyes 1 See how you translated the similar expression in [2:11](../02/11.md). Alternate translation: “according to what you judge to be good”
10:15 j493 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy this day 1 The Israelites are using the term **day** to refer to a specific time. They are not asking Yahweh to **deliver** them on that specific day. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “at this time” or “right away”
10:16 i218 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy the foreign gods 1 The author is using the expression **foreign gods** by association to mean idols that represented these gods. Alternate translation: “the idols”
