Footnotes

  1. 20 Deborah. This woman had been Rebekah’s nurse, but later attached herself to Jacob. She must have been about one hundred and eighty years old when she died.
  2. 21 “and he called its name.” There is no expressed subject, so the verb can be translated as passive.
  3. 22 Or “Allon Bacuth,” if one transliterates the Hebrew name (cf. , , ). An oak tree was revered in the ancient world and often designated as a shrine or landmark. This one was named for the weeping (mourning) occasioned by the death of Deborah.
