See the Notes to this chapter for a discussion of what the author may be saying implicitly here. Alternate translation: [Then he tore down the tower of Peniel, and that killed the leaders of the city]
8:13-17 The return journey was probably a straight course (through the unknown Heres Pass) rather than the circular approach needed for the ambush.
• That a typical young man from Succoth could write down the names is evidence that the newly developed alphabetic writing system had taken root in Israel.

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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
