Note 325 — Chapter V · THE AGE OF THE JUDGES
Reading edition
The text is here again corrupt. The Septuagint renders it: ‘Then went down the remnant to the strong.’ But sârîd, ‘remnant,’ is possibly a marginal gloss derived from the name of the place Sarid in Zebulon (Josh. xix. 10), the meaning being ‘Then the people of Yahveh descended to Sarid to the nobles.’ The second member of the verse shows that the ‘nobles’ are Israelites.
