Judges 5:21
20 From the sky the stars fought, from their paths in the heavens they fought against Sisera. 21 The onrushing torrent* carried them off; the river confronted them—the Kishon River. Step on the necks of the strong! 22 “The horses’ hooves pounded the ground; the stallions galloped madly. 23 ‘Call judgment down on Meroz,’ says the angel of the Lord; ‘Be sure to call judgment down on those who live there, because they did not come to help in the Lord’s battle, to help in the Lord’s battle against the warriors.’
LXX Judges 5:21
20 The stars from heaven set themselves in array, they set themselves to fight with Sisara out of their paths. 21 The brook of Kison swept them away, the ancient brook, the brook Kison: my mighty soul will trample him down. 22 When the hoofs of the horse were entangled, his mighty ones earnestly hasted 23 to curse Meroz: Curse ye it, said the angel of the Lord; cursed is every one that dwells in it, because they came not to the help of the Lord, to his help among the mighty.
Notes and References
"... Obscure words ... Another example is in Judges 5:21. The phrase today translated as “ancient torrent” or “onrushing torrent,” puzzled the ancient translators. LXXa, Vulgate, and Syriac all transliterated it in their various ways, taking it as a proper name, while LXXb has “stream of the ancients,” connecting the word, reasonably enough, with the root. Targum Jonathan also makes the same connection, but with a difference, rendering the phrase as “the stream by which signs and miracles were performed for Israel in ancient times” ... presumably a reference to the miracles of Elijah at Carmel (1 Kings 18:20-40). Again, the targumist could have followed the same tack as one of the other translations, but he wanted to make an edifying connection between two points of the history of Israel ..."
