Abstract
The period of the judges is portrayed as a desperate time calling for charismatic leaders. The stories of heroic characters, who received the Spirit of Yahweh in the book of Judges, provide various portraits of Israelite judges. The Spirit of Yahweh appears seven times in the book of Judges, and it came upon only four judges: Othniel (Jdg 3:10), Gideon (Jdg 6:34), Jephthah (Jdg 11:29), and Samson (Jdg 13:25; 14:6, 19; 15:14). The book of Judges uses different Hebrew verbs to describe the descent of the Spirit of Yahweh upon these judges, but most Korean Bible translations do not reflect stylistic variations in these passages. The major sections of this study discuss key passages referring to the Spirit of Yahweh in the book of Judges, investigate their stylistic difference, and suggest a new translation in order to feature the significance of x:Wr in the leadership and experience of these charismatic judges. Upon occasion, the Spirit of Yahweh appears to come upon ordinarily but the Spirit had great influence. At times, the Spirit of Yahweh clothed, troubled, and rushed. Reviewing various nuances of different Hebrew verbs used to describe the Spirit of Yahweh in the book of Judges leads to understand the importance of stylistic variations in the narrative plot of Judges.
