Judges 6:9

that oppressed you See on Judges 2:18; and drave them outcf. Exodus 34:11 JE, Joshua 24:18 E. Judges 6:8-9 are repeated in 1 Samuel 10:18, possibly copied from here.

The aim of Judges 6:7 is to enforce the principle that reformation must precede deliverance. But the prophet has hardly reached this point when his speech is abruptly broken off, and one of the main narratives begins (11 24). These verses must be earlier than the Dtc. compiler, who would not have curtailed the speech had he inserted it himself. They seem to be the handiwork of the Elohistic school; thus because ofin Judges 6:7 (an uncommon expression in Hebr.), cf. Genesis 21:11; Genesis 21:25; Numbers 12:1 etc. E; brought you up from Egypt Judges 6:8, cf. Genesis 46:4; Genesis 50:24; Joshua 24:17 E (also in J); from the house of bondage Judges 6:8, cf. Exodus 13:3; Exodus 13:14 JE, Exodus 20:2 E, Joshua 24:17 E (also in D); the Amorites Judges 6:9, cf. Genesis 15:16; Numbers 21:13; Numbers 21:21; Numbers 21:31; Joshua 24:8; Joshua 24:15; Joshua 24:18 etc. E, and see Judges 1:34 n.The parallels with Joshua 24:15-20 are particularly noticeable.
