Deborah said OKAY but told him that he would not receive the honor. Why? Who was Jael? Describe in detail how Jael killed Sisera.
2.Judges 5: The Song of Deborah: Select several events mentioned in the Song of Deborah that you think are more interesting and easier to understand. Vs. 24-31: Note Deborah’s description of how Jael murdered Sisera. Even though this poem is very ancient, these verses are typical Hebrew poetry. Below is a brief introduction to Hebrew poetry. 1) The way Hebrews write poetry is very similar to the way Chinese write “couplets” [such as are written on door frames at Lunar New Year]. Bible scholars call this form “Hebrew Parallelism.” Deborah probably did not know the term “Hebrew Parallelism,” but Bible scholar Robert Lowth, in 1753, used it to describe the way Hebrews wrote poetry. Understanding “parallelism” helps us understand those parts of the Bible that are poetry, e.g., Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, etc. Isaiah, Jeremiah and the Minor Prophets are written in poetic form or include poetry. 2) There are three basic types of Hebrew Parallelism: j Synonymous Parallelism: This is the most common form of Hebrew Parallelism. The first clause or line and the second mean the same thing; the second line repeats the first line. k Progressive or Synthetic Parallelism: The first line is incomplete and does not stand alone; the first line supplements the second line. l Contrasting or Antithetic Parallelism: The second clause (line or thought) gives an opposite meaning of the first line. ãâ Use the introduction to Hebrew poetry above to explain Judges 5:24-31.
