Judges 20:28Wrench

BACK NEXT
Phinehas {Snake-Mouth} (the son of Aaron's son ELeazar {El's-Aid}) stands before [the Ark] in the sunlight.
[Phinehas] asks, β€œShall I yet again [march] out to overcome the spawn of my brother Benjamin {Right-Hand-Son}?
Or should I [return home]?”
YHVH answers, β€œAscend. Tomorrow I deliver [your brother] into your hand.”

Note: Again, the Israelites misinterpret YAH's answer.
YAH says β€˜go up.’ But YHVH does not command the Israelites to carnally fight.
He commands the Israelites to RISE above the level of their morally-retarded violent brothers, to praise-march (Jericho-style) while YHVH destroys the evil rapists.
But again the blood-crazed warmongers refuse to wait for YHVH's peaceful solution.
