Tedy k niem rzekł: Braciać to moi a synowie matki mojej byli, jako żywie Pan Bóg, byście je byli żywo zostawili, żebych was był nie pomordował.
I rzekł: Braciać to moi, synowie matki mojej byli; żywie Pan, byście je byli żywo zachowali, nie pobiłbym was.
Wówczas Gedeon powiedział: Byli to moi bracia, synowie mojej matki. Jak żyje PAN, gdybyście ich zachowali przy życiu, nie zabiłbym was.
Więc rzekł: To byli moi bracia, synowie mojej matki. Żywy jest WIEKUISTY! Gdybyście ich zostawili przy życiu i ja bym was nie uśmiercił.
I powiedział: To byli moi bracia, synowie mojej matki. Jak żyje PAN, gdybyście zachowali ich przy życiu, nie zabiłbym was.
Wtedy on rzekł: Bracia moi to byli, synowie mojej matki. Jako żyje Pan, gdybyście ich zachowali przy życiu, oszczędziłbym was.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he said, they were my brethren, even the sons of my mother,.... His brethren by his mother's side, but not by his father's side; or the phrase
the sons of my mother is added, to show that he did not mean brethren in a large sense, as all the Israelites were, but in a strict sense, being so nearly related as his mother's children:
as the Lord liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you; for not being Canaanites, he was not obliged by the law of God to put them to death, and by the law of nations, as they had surrendered themselves, and were made prisoners of war, they ought to have been saved; but as they appeared to be murderers, and had slain the Israelites in cold blood, they deserved to die; and the persons they had slain being Gideon's brethren, he was the avenger of blood, and it became him to put them to death.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The sons of my mother - A much closer relation than that of brothers by the father only. (Compare Genesis 43:29; Deuteronomy 13:6; Psalms 69:8). This is the only hint preserved of the transaction. We cannot say exactly when the slaughter of Gideonâs brethren on Mount Tabor took place, whether before the outbreak of the war Judges 6:33, or in the retreat and flight of the Midianites Judges 7:22.
