TSNTyndale Study Notes:

8:4-12 At this point, Gideon seemed as bent on revenge as on victory, and there is an abrupt cessation of his earlier dialogue with the Lord. The core of 300 men made this final run against the Midianites.
• Gideon pursued the fleeing kings of Midian through the Jabbok gorge, then southward toward Rabbah, following the caravan route onto the Transjordan plateau.
• Succoth and Peniel were Israelite cities, but their loyalty to Gideon, an upstart general, was thin. The tribes east of the Jordan were continually exposed to the Midianites’ pressure and apparently feared the Midianites.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

הַ⁠שְּׁכוּנֵ֣י בָֽ⁠אֳהָלִ֔ים

the,dwell in/on/at/with,tents

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “the ones who live in tents”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מִ⁠קֶּ֥דֶם לְ⁠נֹ֖בַח וְ⁠יָגְבֳּהָ֑ה

from=east of,Nobah and,Jogbehah

The author does not mean that Gideon traveled from the east to Nobah and Jogbehah. He is using a characteristic expression to describe the location of one place relative to two other places. He means that from where Gideon was along this road, if one went to Jobah and Jogbehah, one would approach those towns from the east. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: “to the east of Nobah and Jogbehah”

Note 3 topic: translate-names

לְ⁠נֹ֖בַח וְ⁠יָגְבֳּהָ֑ה

of,Nobah and,Jogbehah

The words Nobah and Jogbehah are the names of towns.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וַ⁠יַּךְ֙ אֶת־הַֽ⁠מַּחֲנֶ֔ה וְ⁠הַֽ⁠מַּחֲנֶ֖ה הָ֥יָה בֶֽטַח

and,attacked DOM the,army and,the,army it_became unsuspecting

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of security, you could express the same idea in another way. Here, as in 8:10, the author is using the word camp to mean the soldiers in the camp. Alternate translation: “And he struck the camp while the soldiers were feeling secure”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / events

וַ⁠יַּךְ֙ אֶת־הַֽ⁠מַּחֲנֶ֔ה וְ⁠הַֽ⁠מַּחֲנֶ֖ה הָ֥יָה בֶֽטַח

and,attacked DOM the,army and,the,army it_became unsuspecting

Since the camp was in security before Gideon struck or “attacked” it, in your translation you may wish to relate these events in the order in which they happened. Alternate translation: “And the soldiers were feeling secure, but he attacked their camp”
