Footnotes

  1. 27 This probably refers to those who responded to the call for war. They were “survivors” of the Canaanite oppression (see B. Lindars, Judges 1–5, 250).
  2. 28 The translation assumes a repointing of the verb as a perfect or imperfect/preterite form of יָרַד (yarad, “to go down”). The form as pointed in the appears to be from רָדָה (radah, “to rule”). See §69.g. The same form, translated “came down,” occurs in the next line as well.
  3. 29 The expression mighty ones probably refers to the leaders of the army.
  4. 30 The speaker may be Deborah here.
  5. 31 The translation assumes the preposition ב (bet) prefixed to “warriors” has the force of “in the capacity of.” For this use of the preposition, see §119.i.
