3:19 Gilgal became the Israelites’ initial base of operations after they crossed the Jordan and was the site of important events associated with the conquest (Josh 4–6). The stone idols may have been a pagan shrine created from the twelve stones that Joshua set up (Josh 4:20). Later, Gilgal was still an important center for the faithful (1 Sam 7:16) and for idolators (Hos 4:15; 9:15; 12:11; Amos 4:4; 5:5).
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
וְה֣וּא שָׁ֗ב
and=he turned_back
For emphasis, the author is stating the pronoun he, whose meaning is already present in the verb translated as turned. If your language can state implied pronouns explicitly for emphasis, you may want to use that construction here in your translation. Other languages may have other ways of bringing out this emphasis. The ULT does so by using the intensive pronoun himself. Alternate translation: “But as for him, he turned back”
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
הַפְּסִילִים֙
the,idols
See the General Notes to this chapter for a discussion of what these carved images might have been and for some suggestions of how to describe them in your translation.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַיֹּ֕אמֶר
and=he/it_said
The author is leaving some information implicit that he assumes readers will understand. You could state this information explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and he returned to King Eglon. Ehud said to him”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
דְּבַר־סֵ֥תֶר לִ֛י אֵלֶ֖יךָ
word/matter_of secret to=me for,you
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of secrecy, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation, as in the UST: “I have something secret to tell you”
Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הָ֔ס
and=he/it_said silence
The pronoun he refers to Eglon. This could mean: (1) that he wanted silence in his court, and he specifically wanted everyone except him and Ehud to leave the room so that the court would be silent. Alternate translation: “And King Eglon told his servants, ‘Leave us here alone!’” (2) that he was telling Ehud not to say anything further, since his message was secret, until everyone else left. Alternate translation: “And King Eglon told Ehud, ‘Keep quiet for a moment.’”
