OET (OET-LV) And_it_was if it_sowed Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) and_he/it_would_go_up Midyān and_ˊAmālēqites and_the_sons of_[the]_east and_come_up on/upon/above_him/it.
OET (OET-RV) Whenever the Israelis planted a crop, the Midianites or the Amalekites, or eastern groups would attack them.
6:1-6 After forty years of peace, religious syncretism had brought about political instability, and marauding nomads had reduced the Israelites to living as fugitives.
• The Midianites were once thought to be a purely nomadic tribe centered in northwest Arabia, but they are now understood to have built cities and for a time to have dominated much of the Arabian Peninsula and southern Transjordan (the area east of the Jordan). They are joined here by Amalekites (who earlier were part of a Moabite coalition; see study note on 3:12-13) and the mysterious people of the east (cp. 1 Kgs 4:30; Ezek 25:4, 10). The pattern of attack was seasonal but devastating.
