Footnotes

  1. 6 Heb “And Gideon arrived at the Jordan, crossing over, he and the three hundred men who were with him, exhausted and chasing.” The English past perfect (“had crossed”) is used because this verse flashes back chronologically to an event that preceded the hostile encounter described in vv. 1–3. (Note that 7:25 assumes Gideon had already crossed the Jordan.)
