וַיַּעַבְדוּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־עֶגְלוֹן מֶֽלֶךְ־מוֹאָב שְׁמוֹנֶה עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָֽה
And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
וַיִּזְעֲקוּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־יְהוָה וַיָּקֶם יְהוָה לָהֶם מוֹשִׁיעַ אֶת־אֵהוּד בֶּן־גֵּרָא בֶּן־הַיְמִינִי אִישׁ אִטֵּר יַד־יְמִינוֹ וַיִּשְׁלְחוּ בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּיָדוֹ מִנְחָה לְעֶגְלוֹן מֶלֶךְ מוֹאָֽב
But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a saviour, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man left-handed; and the children of Israel sent a present by him unto Eglon the king of Moab.
וַיַּעַשׂ לוֹ אֵהוּד חֶרֶב וְלָהּ שְׁנֵי פֵיוֹת גֹּמֶד אָרְכָּהּ וַיַּחְגֹּר אוֹתָהּ מִתַּחַת לְמַדָּיו עַל יֶרֶךְ יְמִינֽוֹ
And Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
וַיַּקְרֵב אֶת־הַמִּנְחָה לְעֶגְלוֹן מֶלֶךְ מוֹאָב וְעֶגְלוֹן אִישׁ בָּרִיא מְאֹֽד
And he offered the present unto Eglon king of Moab—now Eglon was a very fat man.
וַֽיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר כִּלָּה לְהַקְרִיב אֶת־הַמִּנְחָה וַיְשַׁלַּח אֶת־הָעָם נֹשְׂאֵי הַמִּנְחָֽה
And when he had made an end of offering the present, he sent away the people that bore the present.
