Here and in the next two verses, the author is providing background information to help readers understand what happens next in the story. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.

וְ⁠יִפְתָּ֣ח הַ⁠גִּלְעָדִ֗י הָיָה֙ גִּבּ֣וֹר חַ֔יִל

and,Jephthah the,Gileadite it_became mighty mighty

The author is using introducing Jephthah as a new participant in the story. If your language has its own way of introducing new participants, you can use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: “Now there was a man named Jephthah, a Gileadite, who was a warrior of valor”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

mighty mighty

See how you translated the same expression in 6:12. Alternate translation: “a valiant warrior”

Note 4 topic: translate-names

גִּלְעָ֖ד
