of the enemy. Yahweh in turn shows mercy on his people and raises a judge. This judge leads the Israelites out of misfortune. The cycle then starts over. Judges are often associated with a judicial system. It is important to make note that the Hebrew Bible judges are charismatic military leaders and do not make court of law decisions. In the fourth chapter of Judges, there is no direct judge but rather a link. Verses seventeen through twenty-three tell the story of Jael and Sisera. Jael is the…

In Jgs 5,31, he finds a mention of a covenantal love that dates much further back than Deuteronomy (84-85). He also compares the Decalogue found in Deuteronomy to the Decalogue found in Exodus. He finds by looking at the Hebrew language used that Exodus indeed alluded to this covenantal love long before Deuteronomy was written…

B.C.E. (Before the Common Era), as do scholars today. In reference to the civil calendar, A.D. refers to “the year of our Lord and B.C. to Before Christ.
