Judges
JudgesSteve Gregg

In Judges 4-5, Steve Gregg discusses the story of Deborah, the fourth judge of Israel, and her role in leading the Israelites to victory against their oppressors. Gregg addresses the controversy surrounding Deborah’s leadership as a woman and suggests that her appointment was a rare exception rather than a norm. He also explores the cultural and historical context of the story, highlighting the role of iron chariots in battle and the involvement of the Kenites. The segment ends with an analysis of the poetic language used in chapter 5, which pays tribute to the bravery and heroism of those involved in the battle.
