Judges 3:6-7

⁶ау луат де невесте пе фетеле лор ши ау дат де невесте фиилор лор пе фетеле лор ши ау служит думнезеилор лор.

⁷Копиий луй Исраел ау фэкут че ну плэчя Домнулуй, ау уйтат пе Домнул ши ау служит баалилор ши идолилор.

Judges 3 introduces the recurring cycle of apostasy, oppression, and deliverance that defines the book of Judges. It begins by explaining why God left certain nations in Canaan—to test Israel's obedience and train its generations in warfare. The chapter then details the first three judges: Othniel, Ehud, and Shamgar. Othniel delivers Israel from Cushan-Rishathaim, bringing forty years of peace. Ehud, a left-handed Benjamite, cunningly assassinates Eglon, the obese king of Moab, leading to eighty years of rest. Shamgar's brief mention highlights his single-handed defeat of 600 Philistines with an ox goad, a testament to God's power through unlikely means.
