Yərubaˊal/(Jerubbaal)
The word Jerubbaal is another name by which Gideon became known. It means “may Baal contend.”

It is unclear how many of the words that follow saying were spoken by the people who gave Gideon the name Jerubbaal and how many are an explanation by the author of why the people gave him this name. The people could have spoken: (1) all of the words that are within quotation marks in the ULT. This would be a repetition of what Joash said at the end of the previous verse. (2) only the first phrase that is within quotation marks in the ULT. This would explain the meaning of the name Jerubbaal. The rest would be an explanation by the author. Alternate translation: “saying, ‘May Baal contend against him,’ since he tore down his altar”
6:11-32 Gideon encountered the angel of the Lord and emerged as a hero. He overthrew the syncretistic Baal cult of his family and town and called his people to fight in the Lord’s name.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
