Hakim-hakim 4:9

4:9 She said, “I will indeed go with you. But you will not gain fame ⁵  on the expedition you are undertaking, ⁶  for the Lord will turn Sisera over to a woman.” ⁷  Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh.

[2:14]  ¹ tn Or “The Lord’s anger burned [or “raged”] against Israel.”

[2:14]  ² tn Heb “robbers who robbed them.” (The verb שָׁסָה [shasah] appears twice in the verse.)

[2:14]  sn The expression robbers who plundered them is a derogatory reference to the enemy nations, as the next line indicates.

[2:14]  ³ tn Heb “sold them into the hands of.”

[2:14]  ⁴ tn The word “attacks” is supplied in the translation both for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[4:9]  ⁵ tn Or “honor.”

[4:9]  ⁶ tn Heb “on [account of (?)] the way which you are walking.” Another option is to translate, “due to the way you are going about this.” In this case direct reference is made to Barak’s hesitancy as the reason for his loss of glory.

[4:9]  ⁷ tn Heb “for into the hands of a woman the Lord will sell Sisera.”
