Ehud from Eglon 31. and Shamgar from the Philistines After Ehud had finished presenting the tribute The phrase "After Ehud had finished presenting the tribute" marks a significant moment in the narrative. Ehud, a judge of Israel, is fulfilling a duty that was both political and religious. The "tribute" refers to a payment or offering made to Eglon, the king of Moab, who had subjugated Israel. In the Hebrew context, the word for tribute, "מִנְחָה" (minchah), often denotes a gift or offering, which can be seen as a form of submission or appeasement. This act of presenting tribute highlights the Israelites' subjugation under foreign rule, a recurring theme in the Book of Judges, where Israel's disobedience leads to oppression by surrounding nations. Historically, such tributes were common in the ancient Near East as a sign of vassalage and submission to a more powerful ruler. he ushered out those who had carried it Hebrew Afterכַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר (ka·’ă·šer) Preposition-k | Pronoun - relative Strong's 834: Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that Ehud had finished כִּלָּ֔ה (kil·lāh) Verb - Piel - Perfect - third person masculine singular Strong's 3615: To be complete, at an end, finished, accomplished, or spent presenting לְהַקְרִ֖יב (lə·haq·rîḇ) Preposition-l | Verb - Hifil - Infinitive construct Strong's 7126: To come near, approach the tribute, הַמִּנְחָ֑ה (ham·min·ḥāh) Article | Noun - feminine singular Strong's 4503: A donation, tribute, a sacrificial offering he ushered out וַיְשַׁלַּח֙ (way·šal·laḥ) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular Strong's 7971: To send away, for, out those הָעָ֔ם (hā·‘ām) Article | Noun - masculine singular Strong's 5971: A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flock who had carried נֹשְׂאֵ֖י (nō·śə·’ê) Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine plural construct Strong's 5375: To lift, carry, take it. הַמִּנְחָֽה׃ (ham·min·ḥāh) Article | Noun - feminine singular Strong's 4503: A donation, tribute, a sacrificial offering Links Judges 3:18 NIVJudges 3:18 NLT Judges 3:18 ESV Judges 3:18 NASB Judges 3:18 KJV Judges 3:18 BibleApps.com Judges 3:18 Biblia Paralela Judges 3:18 Chinese Bible Judges 3:18 French Bible Judges 3:18 Catholic Bible OT History: Judges 3:18 When he had made an end (Jd Judg.
