¹ tn Heb “ a woman, a prophetess.” In Hebrew idiom the generic “woman” sometimes precedes the more specific designation. See GKC 437-38 §135.b.

² tn Heb “she was.” The pronoun refers back to the nominative absolute “Deborah.” Hebrew style sometimes employs such resumptive pronouns when lengthy qualifiers separate the subject from the verb.

³ tn Or “judging.”

⁴ tc Codex Alexandrinus (A) of the (original) LXX has the singular “to him.”

⁵ tn Heb “I am innocent this time from the Philistines when I do with them harm.”
