TSNTyndale Study Notes:

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

הַֽ⁠מִּסְדְּר֑וֹנָ⁠ה

the,vestibule,into

The word translated as porch occurs only here in the Old Testament, so its meaning is not entirely certain. Most interpreters understand it to mean a covered entrance area just outside the room Ehud had been in. Your language and culture may have an expression to describe such an area. Alternate translation: “to the vestibule”
