Résumé: | Judges chapters 4 and 5 feature first a narrative account, and then a poetic depiction of a 12th century bce battle and its aftermath. The conflict is between the forces of Israel and those of a Canaanite commander. In these chapters traditional sexual roles are overturned and subverted. Women are manly, and men are womanly. That these gender-based stereotypes are so clearly upended is integral to the message of the received text. |
