Context — The Conquest of Canaangenerated
Judges 1:10 describes Judah's military campaign against the Canaanites in Hebron, a city of significance in biblical history. This action is part of the broader narrative of the Israelites' conquest of Canaan, where various tribes take possession of the land promised to them by God. The mention of notable figures like Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai highlights the challenges faced by the Israelites during this period, as these individuals were known for their strength and size, representing formidable opposition.

The Key Word — יְהוּדָ֗ה, ye.hu.Dahgenerated
The name יְהוּדָה (yehudah) means 'Judah' and signifies the tribe descended from Judah, the fourth son of Jacob. The name is derived from a root meaning 'praised' and is associated with the southern kingdom of Judah. In this verse, Judah is depicted as a military leader, reflecting the tribe's role in the conquest of Canaan.
Judah's actions are significant as they demonstrate the tribe's initiative and strength in fulfilling God's command to take possession of the land. The use of the verb וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ (halak), meaning 'to go' or 'to walk', indicates movement and purpose, emphasizing the active role of Judah in this conquest.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the sentence is וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ, and he went, which governs the action of Judah moving against the Canaanites. The structure includes a prepositional phrase indicating direction (אֶל־, against), followed by a noun phrase describing the Canaanites and a participial phrase detailing their dwelling in Hebron.
The sentence's order emphasizes the action of Judah first, followed by the context of the Canaanites they confronted, illustrating the direct engagement in battle.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ as ἐπορεύθη (eporeuthē), which conveys a sense of movement or journeying, similar to the Hebrew. This choice reflects the translators' understanding of the action as a significant military campaign.
The word for Canaanite in the Septuagint is ξαναναῖον (xananaios), which may suggest a broader interpretation of the Canaanites as merchants or inhabitants of the land, aligning with the Hebrew context.

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(10) That dwelt in Hebron.—See Joshua 10:36-37. Hebron is midway between Jerusalem and Beersheba, and twenty miles from either. The first name of the city, which is one of the most ancient in the world (Numbers 13:22), was Mamre (Genesis 13:18), from the name of its chief (Genesis 14:24). It is now called El-Khulîl (“the friend”), from Abraham. It was a city of refuge (Joshua 21:11-13). If the view taken as to the chronology of this chapter is correct, this assault is identical with those touched upon in Joshua 11:21; Joshua 14:6-15; Joshua 15:13-14. The LXX. have, “Hebron came forth against Judah.” For later references to Hebron, see Nehemiah 11:25; 1Ma 5:65. Kirjath-arba.—That is, “the…

CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges10. The conquest of Hebron (contrast Joshua 10:36-37 D) is here ascribed to Judah as part of the general operations against the Canaanites (Judges 1:9); later on, the Judahites, having taken the city, made it over to Caleb (Judges 1:20). In Joshua 15:14 J, however, Hebron is captured by Caleb; it was a victory over the Anβkim, not over Canaanites in general; and such was undoubtedly the original version of the story. The editor here has altered the original narrative to fit his scheme of Judah’s victories; this has involved the removal of Jdg 1:20 from its proper place before Judges 1:10. Fortunately the parallel passage in Joshua helps us to recover the original form of the text: Joshua…

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text (MT) states that Judah marched against the Canaanites living in Hebron, mentioning the names of the three defeated giants: Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai. The Septuagint (LXX) largely agrees with the MT, matching 15 of the 18 words, though it presents the information in its own Greek structure. The Dead Sea Scrolls (Xjudges) also align closely with the MT, although it has some words that are partly restored and others supplied by an editor. Overall, the MT, LXX, and Dead Sea Scrolls show agreement in the core details of the verse, with minor variations in wording and structure.

Judah
Praise, the fourth son of Jacob by Leah. The name originated in Leah’s words of praise to the Lord on account of his birth: “Now will I praise [Heb. odeh] Jehovah, and she called his name Yehudah” (Gen. 29:35).
It was Judah that interposed in behalf of Joseph, so that his life was spared (Gen. 37:26, 27). He took a lead in the affairs of the family, and “prevailed above his brethren” (Gen. 43:3-10; 44:14, 16-34; 46:28; 1 Chr. 5:2).
Soon after the sale of Joseph to the Ishmaelites, Judah went to reside at Adullam, where he married a woman of Canaan. (See ONAN; TAMAR.) After the death of his wife Shuah, he returned to his father’s house, and there exercised much…
(praised, celebrated), the fourth son of Jacob and the fourth of Leah. (B.C. after 1753.) Of Judah’s personal character more traits are preserved than of any other of the patriarchs, with the exception of Joseph, whose life he in conjunction with Reuben saved. (Genesis 37:26-28) During the second visit to Egypt for corn it was Judah who understood to be responsible for the safety of Benjamin, ch. (Genesis 43:3-10) and when, through Joseph’s artifice, the brothers were brought back to the palace, he is again the leader and spokesman of the band. So too it is Judah who is sent before Jacob to smooth the way for him in the land of Goshen. ch. (Genesis 46:28) This ascendancy over his brethren is reflected in the last words…
The fourth son of Jacob and Leah, born in Mesopotamia, B. C. 1755, Ge 29:35. His name appears honorably in the history of Joseph, Ge 37:26,27 44:16-34; but disgracefully in that of Tamar his daughter-in-law, Ge 38:1-30. The dying benediction of Jacob foretells the superior power and prosperity of the family of Judah, and their continuance as chief of the Jewish race until the time of Christ, Ge 49:8-12. Though not the firstborn, Judah soon came to be considered as the chief of Jacob’s children, and his tribe was the most powerful and numerous. The southeastern part of Palestine fell to their lot. See JUDEA. On the border of their territory was Jerusalem, the seat of the…

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.

This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man.
