10 And the Spirit of יהוה came upon him, and he ruled Yisra’ĕl, and went out to battle, and יהוה gave into his hand Kushan-Rish‛athayim sovereign of Aram Naharayim. And his hand prevailed over Kushan-Rish‛athayim,
11 and the land had rest for forty years. Then Othni’ĕl son of Qenaz died,
12 and the children of Yisra’ĕl again did evil in the eyes of יהוה. And יהוה made Eg̅lon sovereign of Mo’aḇ strong against Yisra’ĕl, because they had done evil in the eyes of יהוה.
13 And he gathered to himself the children of Ammon and Amalĕq, and went and smote Yisra’ĕl, and they took possession of the city of palms.
14 And the children of Yisra’ĕl served Eg̅lon sovereign of Mo’aḇ eighteen years.
15 And when the children of Yisra’ĕl cried out to יהוה, יהוה raised up a saviour for them: Ěhuḏ son of Gĕra, a Binyamite, a man impeded in his right hand. And by him the children of Yisra’ĕl sent a present to Eg̅lon sovereign of Mo’aḇ.
16 And Ěhuḏ made himself a sword, it was double-edged and a cubit in length, and he girded it under his long robe on his right thigh.
