Judges 10:11

not … from the Egyptians The missing verb is supplied by the RV., cf. Exodus 14:30; did not I bring you upwould be better the verb usually found with from Egypt, Judges 2:1; Judges 6:8; then the rest of the verse must be an editorial expansion. But if the restoration of the RV. be kept, the whole verse can be regarded as a conventional summary; no distinct oppression by the Amorites is recorded.
