- Judges 4:21 tn Heb “took a tent peg and put a hammer in her hand.”
- Judges 4:21 tn Heb “and it went into the ground.”
- Judges 4:21 tn Heb “and exhausted.” Another option is to understand this as a reference to the result of the fatal blow. In this case, the phrase could be translated, “and he breathed his last.”
