- What is the overall construct of this particular chapter in terms of its form?
- Judges 5:4 makes reference to Divinity. Is this the usual description as it appears (for example) in the Five Books?
- Judges 5:6 makes reference, once again, to Shamgar but not to Ehud. How does this relate to the earlier text?
- Does Judges 5:8 indicate why the Israelites had difficulty?
- And, in Judges 5:8, what was the “military readiness” of the Israelites?
- In Judges 5:12 there is reference to Devorah in the “third person”; is this unusual in the poetry of that time?
- Judges 5:15 makes reference to the Rubenites; is this a “flattering reference”?
