TSNTyndale Study Notes:

6:15 Gideon’s personal and clan status was itself insufficient to muster troops.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) Please, Lord

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it please my=master/master in/on/at/with,how deliver DOM Yisrael see/lo/see! clan,my the,weakest in/on/at/with,Manasseh and,I the,youngest in=house_of father's,my )

Gideon now calls the person “Lord” instead of “my master” as in Judges 6:13. Here it seems Gideon either knows or suspects that he is speaking with Yahweh.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) how can I deliver Israel?

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it please my=master/master in/on/at/with,how deliver DOM Yisrael see/lo/see! clan,my the,weakest in/on/at/with,Manasseh and,I the,youngest in=house_of father's,my )

Gideon uses a question to emphasize that he does not think he can rescue the Israelites. Alternate translation: “I cannot possibly rescue the Israelites!”

(Occurrence 0) See, my family

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it please my=master/master in/on/at/with,how deliver DOM Yisrael see/lo/see! clan,my the,weakest in/on/at/with,Manasseh and,I the,youngest in=house_of father's,my )

Alternate translation: “Look at my family and me and you will see that it”

(Occurrence 0) in Manasseh

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it please my=master/master in/on/at/with,how deliver DOM Yisrael see/lo/see! clan,my the,weakest in/on/at/with,Manasseh and,I the,youngest in=house_of father's,my )

Alternate translation: “in the tribe of Manasseh”
