Context — The Departure of the Danitesgenerated
Judges 18:21 describes how the Danites prepared for their journey by placing their small children, livestock, and possessions in front of them. This act demonstrates their prioritization of family and belongings as they left Micah's house, marking a significant moment in their migration. This passage follows the priest's agreement to accompany them, as seen in Judges 18:20, and leads to a confrontation with Micah's neighbors, as noted in Judges 18:22.
Cross References
The Key Word — פָּנָה, vai.yif.Nugenerated
The verb פָּנָה (panah) means to turn or face something, indicating a change in direction or focus. It is used in various contexts, often describing physical movements or decisions to face a particular way.
In this verse, the use of פָּנָה emphasizes the act of turning away from one place and moving towards another, which is a critical aspect of the Danites' journey.
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 action of the verse is governed by three finite verbs: וַיִּפְנ֖וּ (they turned), וַיֵּלֵ֑כוּ (they went), and וַיָּשִׂ֨ימוּ (they put). Each verb is followed by its respective objects, creating a clear sequence of actions.
The structure emphasizes the preparation for departure, with the children and possessions placed in front, indicating a methodical approach to their journey.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates וַיִּפְנ֖וּ as ἐπέστρεψαν (they turned back), which suggests a slight nuance of returning or redirecting rather than merely turning away.
This choice reflects an interpretation that may imply a reconsideration of their actions or a moment of pause before leaving.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

In consequence of the identification at the time, the prophets have "Libya" (Libues), except Nab 3:9, where the Greek renders the word as phuge, "flight." The Vulgate (Jerome's Latin Bible, 390-405 A.D.) has "Phut," "Phuth," and in the Prophets "Libyes" and "Libya"; the King James Version "Phut."

In the "Table of Nations" Put is the third son of Ham (Ge 10:6), the first and second being Cush and Misraim, and the fourth Canaan. Put is the only one of the sons of Ham who is not credited with descendants.
