Kommentar zu Schoftim 6:2
וַתָּ֥עָז יַד־מִדְיָ֖ן עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל מִפְּנֵ֨י מִדְיָ֜ן עָשֽׂוּ לָהֶ֣ם ׀ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל אֶת־הַמִּנְהָרוֹת֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בֶּֽהָרִ֔ים וְאֶת־הַמְּעָר֖וֹת וְאֶת־הַמְּצָדֽוֹת׃
Die Hand Midjans war mächtig über Israel. Aus Furcht vor Midjan machten sich die Kinder Israel Sammelplätze auf den Bergen und in den Höhlen und Burgen.

Stockades. "Palliser" in old French, "pales", as it is constructed in the forest by felling trees around its perimeter.4The trees serve as the pales or stakes forming the stockade.
