Translation note

“Corpses”: so the Hebrew says; the word “garments” is written almost the same and would fit between “goods” and “precious objects.”

The context

24When Judah came to the watchtower of the wilderness, they turned toward the multitude, and look, they were corpses fallen to the ground, and there was no escape.

25 · This verse (above)

26On the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Beracah, for there they blessed YHWH; therefore they called the name of that place the Valley of Beracah, to this day.
