OET interlinear JDG 10:9

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠בְ⁠בֵ֣ית אֶפְרָ֑יִם

and,against,the_house_of Efrayim

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]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠תֵּ֥צֶר לְ⁠יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מְאֹֽד

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_passed_over sons_of ˊAmmōn DOM the,Jordan to,fight also/yet against,Judah and,against,Benjamin and,against,the_house_of Efrayim and,it_was_distress to,Israel very )

See how you translated the same expression in [2:15](../02/15.md). Alternate translation: [and Israel was in great distress]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ⁠תֵּ֥צֶר לְ⁠יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מְאֹֽד

See the discussion in the Introduction to Judges of the use of a person’s name to mean his descendants, and see how you translated the similar expression in [1:1](../01/01.md). Alternate translation: [and the Israelites were in great distress]
