and to flee Jephthah from face: before brother: male-sibling his and to dwell in/on/with land: country/planet Tob and to gather to(wards) Jephthah human worthless and to come out: come with him
4 In those days, the sons of Ammon fought against Israel.

and to say to/for Jephthah to go: come! [emph?] and to be to/for us to/for chief and to fight in/on/with son: descendant/people Ammon
7 But he answered them: “Are you not the ones who hated me, and who cast me out of my father’s house? And yet now you come to me, compelled by necessity?”

8 And the leaders of Gilead said to Jephthah, “But it is due to this necessity that we have approached you now, so that you may set out with us, and fight against the sons of Ammon, and be commander over all who live in Gilead.”
and to say old: elder Gilead to(wards) Jephthah to/for so now to return: return to(wards) you and to go: went with us and to fight in/on/with son: descendant/people Ammon and to be to/for us to/for head: leader to/for all to dwell Gilead
9 Jephthah also said to them: “If you have come to me so that I may fight for you against the sons of Ammon, and if the Lord will deliver them into my hands, will I truly be your leader?”
and to say Jephthah to(wards) old: elder Gilead if to return: rescue you(m. p.) [obj] me to/for to fight in/on/with son: descendant/people Ammon and to give: give LORD [obj] them to/for face: before my I to be to/for you to/for head: leader

and to say old: elder Gilead to(wards) Jephthah LORD to be to hear: judge between us if not like/as word your so to make: do
11 And so Jephthah went with the leaders of Gilead, and all the people made him their leader. And Jephthah spoke all his words, in the sight of the Lord, at Mizpah.
and to go: went Jephthah with old: elder Gilead and to set: make [the] people [obj] him upon them to/for head: leader and to/for chief and to speak: speak Jephthah [obj] all word his to/for face: before LORD in/on/with Mizpah
12 And he sent messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon, who said on his behalf, “What is there between you and me, that you would approach against me, so that you might lay waste to my land?”
and to send: depart Jephthah messenger to(wards) king son: descendant/people Ammon to/for to say what? to/for me and to/for you for to come (in): come to(wards) me to/for to fight in/on/with land: country/planet my
13 And he responded to them, “It is because Israel took my land, when he ascended from Egypt, from the parts of Arnon, as far as the Jabbok and the Jordan. Now therefore, restore these to me with peace.”
and to say king son: descendant/people Ammon to(wards) messenger Jephthah for to take: take Israel [obj] land: country/planet my in/on/with to ascend: rise he from Egypt from Arnon and till [the] Jabbok and till [the] Jordan and now to return: rescue [emph?] [obj] them in/on/with peace
14 And Jephthah again commissioned them, and he ordered them to say to the king of Ammon:
and to add: again still Jephthah and to send: depart messenger to(wards) king son: descendant/people Ammon
15 “Jephthah says this: Israel did not take the land of Moab, nor the land of the sons of Ammon.
and to say to/for him thus to say Jephthah not to take: take Israel [obj] land: country/planet Moab and [obj] land: country/planet son: descendant/people Ammon
16 But when they ascended together from Egypt, he walked through the desert as far as the Red Sea, and he went into Kadesh.
for in/on/with to ascend: rise they from Egypt and to go: went Israel in/on/with wilderness till sea Red (Sea) and to come (in): come Kadesh [to]
17 And he sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, ‘Permit me to pass through your land.’ But he was not willing to agree to his petition. Likewise, he sent to the king of Moab, who also refused to offer him passage. And so he delayed in Kadesh,
and to send: depart Israel messenger to(wards) king Edom to/for to say to pass please in/on/with land: country/planet your and not to hear: hear king Edom and also to(wards) king Moab to send: depart and not be willing and to dwell Israel in/on/with Kadesh
18 and he circled around the side of the land of Edom and the land of Moab. And he arrived opposite the eastern region of the land of Moab. And he made camp across the Arnon. But he was not willing to enter the borders of Moab. (Of course, Arnon is the border of the land of Moab.)
and to go: walk in/on/with wilderness and to turn: surround [obj] land: country/planet Edom and [obj] land: country/planet Moab and to come (in): come from east sun to/for land: country/planet Moab and to camp [emph?] in/on/with side: beside Arnon and not to come (in): come in/on/with border: area Moab for Arnon border: boundary Moab
19 And so Israel sent messengers to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who was living at Heshbon. And they said to him, “Permit me to cross through your land as far as the river.”
and to send: depart Israel messenger to(wards) Sihon king [the] Amorite king Heshbon and to say to/for him Israel to pass please in/on/with land: country/planet your till place my
20 But he, too, despising the words of Israel, would not permit him to cross through his borders. Instead, gathering an innumerable multitude, he went out against him at Jahaz, and he resisted strongly.
and not be faithful Sihon [obj] Israel to pass in/on/with border: area his and to gather Sihon [obj] all people: soldiers his and to camp in/on/with Jahaz [to] and to fight with Israel
21 But the Lord delivered him, with his entire army, into the hands of Israel. And he struck him down, and he possessed all the land of the Amorite, the inhabitant of that region,
and to give: give LORD God Israel [obj] Sihon and [obj] all people: soldiers his in/on/with hand: power Israel and to smite them and to possess: take Israel [obj] all land: country/planet [the] Amorite to dwell [the] land: country/planet [the] he/she/it

and to possess: take [obj] all border: area [the] Amorite from Arnon and till [the] Jabbok and from [the] wilderness and till [the] Jordan
23 Therefore, it was the Lord, the God of Israel, who overthrew the Amorites, by means of his people Israel fighting against them. And now you wish to possess his land?
and now LORD God Israel to possess: take [obj] [the] Amorite from face: before people his Israel and you(m. s.) to possess: take him

25 Or are you, perhaps, better than Balak, the son of Zippor, the king of Moab? Or are you able to explain what his argument was against Israel, and why he fought against him?
and now be pleasing be pleasing you(m. s.) from Balak son: child Zippor king Moab to contend to contend with Israel if to fight to fight in/on/with them
26 And though he has lived in Heshbon, and its villages, and in Aroer, and its villages, and in all the cities near the Jordan for three hundred years, why have you, for such long a time, put forward nothing about this claim?
in/on/with to dwell Israel in/on/with Heshbon and in/on/with daughter: village her and in/on/with Aroer and in/on/with daughter: village her and in/on/with all [the] city which upon hand: bank Arnon three hundred year and why? not to rescue in/on/with time [the] he/she/it
27 Therefore, I am not sinning against you, but you are doing evil against me, by declaring an unjust war against me. May the Lord be the Judge and the Arbiter this day, between Israel and the sons of Ammon.”
and I not to sin to/for you and you(m. s.) to make: do with me distress: evil to/for to fight in/on/with me to judge LORD [the] to judge [the] day: today between son: descendant/people Israel and between son: descendant/people Ammon
28 But the king of the sons of Ammon was not willing to agree to the words of Jephthah that he commissioned by the messengers.
and not to hear: hear king son: descendant/people Ammon to(wards) word Jephthah which to send: depart to(wards) him
29 Therefore, the Spirit of the Lord rested upon Jephthah, and circling around Gilead, and Manasseh, and also Mizpah of Gilead, and crossing from there to the sons of Ammon,
and to be upon Jephthah spirit LORD and to pass [obj] [the] Gilead and [obj] Manasseh and to pass [obj] Mizpah Gilead and from Mizpah Gilead to pass son: descendant/people Ammon
30 he made a vow to the Lord, saying, “If you will deliver the sons of Ammon into my hands,
and to vow Jephthah vow to/for LORD and to say if to give: give to give: give [obj] son: descendant/people Ammon in/on/with hand: power my

33 And he struck them down from Aroer, as far as the entrance to Minnith, twenty cities, and as far as Abel, which is covered with vineyards, in an exceedingly great slaughter. And the sons of Ammon were humbled by the sons of Israel.
and to smite them from Aroer and till to come (in): towards you Minnith twenty city and till Abel-keramim Abel-keramim wound great: large much and be humble son: descendant/people Ammon from face: before son: descendant/people Israel
