Judges 5:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 5:6

4 “Lord, ^awhen You went out from Seir,
When You marched from ^bthe field of Edom,
The earth trembled and the heavens poured,
The clouds also poured water;

5 ^aThe mountains¹ gushed before the Lord,
^bThis Sinai, before the Lord God of Israel.

6 “In the days of ^aShamgar, son of Anath,
In the days of ^bJael,
^cThe highways were deserted,
And the travelers walked along the byways.

7 Village life ceased, it ceased in Israel,
Until I, Deborah, arose,
Arose a mother in Israel.

8 They chose ^anew gods;
Then there was war in the gates;
Not a shield or spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel.

9 My heart is with the rulers of Israel
Who offered themselves willingly with the people.
Bless the Lord!
