   Instead of {wyyod(832c)} Houbigant, Le Clerc, and others read
   {wyyadosh,} "and he tore or threshed;" and this is not only
   agreeable to what Gideon threatened (ver. 7), but is supported
   by the LXX. Vulgate, Chaldee, Syriac, and Arabic.  The Hebrew
   text might easily have been corrupted simply by the change of
   [Sh(8c79)n,] {shin,} into ['Ayin,] {ayin,} letters very similar to
   each other.
