‏ Judges 5:4

Summary for Judg 5:4-5: 5:4-5  a In the poem, the Lord is on the march from his home in the mountains of Edom (cp. Hab 3:3  b), or Mount Sinai (one tradition places Sinai east of the Jordan Valley, in the region of Edom; cp. Gal 4:25  c). The fire and earthquake that had so terrified Israel at the giving of the law (Exod 19:18  d) here symbolize God’s power and fury on the battlefield against his enemies.

• Torrential rain would have created a quagmire, making Sisera’s chariots a liability rather than an asset (Judg 4:15-16  e).
