Shoftim 4:4 - 5:31
Shoftim 4:4 ודבורה אשׁה נביאה אשׁת לפידות היא שׁפטה את־ישׂראל בעת ההיא׃
Shoftim 4:5 והיא יושׁבת תחת־תמר דבורה בין הרמה ובין בית־אל בהר אפרים ויעלו אליה בני ישׂראל למשׁפט׃
Shoftim 4:6 ותשׁלח ותקרא לברק בן־אבינעם מקדשׁ נפתלי ותאמר אליו הלא צוה יהוה אלהי־ישׂראל לך ומשׁכת בהר תבור ולקחת עמך עשׂרת אלפים אישׁ מבני נפתלי ומבני זבלון׃
Shoftim 4:7 ומשׁכתי אליך אל־נחל קישׁון את־סיסרא שׂר־צבא יבין ואת־רכבו ואת־המונו ונתתיהו בידך׃
Shoftim 4:8 ויאמר אליה ברק אם־תלכי עמי והלכתי ואם־לא תלכי עמי לא אלך׃
Shoftim 4:9 ותאמר הלך אלך עמך אפס כי לא תהיה תפארתך על־הדרך אשׁר אתה הולך כי ביד־אשׁה ימכר יהוה את־סיסרא ותקם דבורה ותלך עם־ברק קדשׁה׃
Shoftim 4:10 ויזעק ברק את־זבולן ואת־נפתלי קדשׁה ויעל ברגליו עשׂרת אלפי אישׁ ותעל עמו דבורה׃
Shoftim 4:11 וחבר הקיני נפרד מקין מבני חבב חתן משׁה ויט אהלו עד־אלון בצענים אשׁר את־קדשׁ׃
Shoftim 4:12 ויגדו לסיסרא כי עלה ברק בן־אבינעם הר־תבור׃
Shoftim 4:13 ויזעק סיסרא את־כל־רכבו תשׁע מאות רכב ברזל ואת־כל־העם אשׁר אתו מחרשׁת הגוים אל־נחל קישׁון׃
Shoftim 4:14 ותאמר דברה אל־ברק קום כי זה היום אשׁר נתן יהוה את־סיסרא בידך הלא יהוה יצא לפניך וירד ברק מהר תבור ועשׂרת אלפים אישׁ אחריו׃
Shoftim 4:15 ויהם יהוה את־סיסרא ואת־כל־הרכב ואת־כל־המחנה לפי־חרב לפני ברק וירד סיסרא מעל המרכבה וינס ברגליו׃
Shoftim 4:16 וברק רדף אחרי הרכב ואחרי המחנה עד חרשׁת הגוים ויפל כל־מחנה סיסרא לפי־חרב לא נשׁאר עד־אחד׃
Shoftim 4:17 וסיסרא נס ברגליו אל־אהל יעל אשׁת חבר הקיני כי שׁלום בין יבין מלך־חצור ובין בית חבר הקיני׃
Shoftim 4:18 ותצא יעל לקראת סיסרא ותאמר אליו סורה אדני סורה אלי אל־תירא ויסר אליה האהלה ותכסהו בשׂמיכה׃
Shoftim 4:19 ויאמר אליה השׁקיני־נא מעט־מים כי צמאתי ותפתח את־נאוד החלב ותשׁקהו ותכסהו׃
Shoftim 4:20 ויאמר אליה עמד פתח האהל והיה אם־אישׁ יבוא ושׁאלך ואמר הישׁ־פה אישׁ ואמרת אין׃
Shoftim 4:21 ותקח יעל אשׁת־חבר את־יתד האהל ותשׂם את־המקבת בידה ותבוא אליו בלאט ותתקע את־היתד ברקתו ותצנח בארץ והוא־נרדם ויעף וימת׃
Shoftim 4:22 והנה ברק רדף את־סיסרא ותצא יעל לקראתו ותאמר לו לך ואראך את־האישׁ אשׁר־אתה מבקשׁ ויבא אליה והנה סיסרא נפל מת והיתד ברקתו׃
Shoftim 4:23 ויכנע אלהים ביום ההוא את יבין מלך־כנען לפני בני ישׂראל׃
Shoftim 4:24 ותלך יד בני־ישׂראל הלוך וקשׁה על יבין מלך־כנען עד אשׁר הכריתו את יבין מלך־כנען׃
Shoftim 5:1 ותשׁר דבורה וברק בן־אבינעם ביום ההוא לאמר׃
Shoftim 5:2 בפרע פרעות בישׂראל בהתנדב עם ברכו יהוה׃
Shoftim 5:3 שׁמעו מלכים האזינו רזנים אנכי ליהוה אנכי אשׁירה אזמר ליהוה אלהי ישׂראל׃
Shoftim 5:4 יהוה בצאתך משׂעיר בצעדך משׂדה אדום ארץ רעשׁה גם־שׁמים נטפו גם־עבים נטפו מים׃
Shoftim 5:5 הרים נזלו מפני יהוה זה סיני מפני יהוה אלהי ישׂראל׃
Shoftim 5:6 בימי שׁמגר בן־ענת בימי יעל חדלו ארחות והלכי נתיבות ילכו ארחות עקלקלות׃
Shoftim 5:7 חדלו פרזון בישׂראל חדלו עד שׁקמתי דבורה שׁקמתי אם בישׂראל׃
Shoftim 5:8 יבחר אלהים חדשׁים אז לחם שׁערים מגן אם־יראה ורמח בארבעים אלף בישׂראל׃
Shoftim 5:9 לבי לחוקקי ישׂראל המתנדבים בעם ברכו יהוה׃
Shoftim 5:10 רכבי אתנות צחרות ישׁבי על־מדין והלכי על־דרך שׂיחו׃
Shoftim 5:11 מקול מחצצים בין משׁאבים שׁם יתנו צדקות יהוה צדקת פרזנו בישׂראל אז ירדו לשׁערים עם־יהוה׃
Shoftim 5:12 עורי עורי דבורה עורי עורי דברי־שׁיר קום ברק ושׁבה שׁביך בן־אבינעם׃
Shoftim 5:13 אז ירד שׂריד לאדירים עם יהוה ירד־לי בגבורים׃
Shoftim 5:14 מני אפרים שׁרשׁם בעמלק אחריך בנימין בעממיך מני מכיר ירדו מחקקים ומזבולן משׁכים בשׁבט ספר׃
Shoftim 5:15 ושׂרי בישׂשכר עם־דברה וישׂשכר כן ברק בעמק שׁלח ברגליו בפלגות ראובן גדלים חקקי־לב׃
Shoftim 5:16 למה ישׁבת בין המשׁפתים לשׁמע שׁרקות עדרים לפלגות ראובן גדולים חקרי־לב׃

Beshalach Haftarah
Shoftim 4:4 - 5:31
Shoftim 4:4 And Deḇorah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappiḏoth, was ruling Yisra’ĕl at that time.
Shoftim 4:5 And she was dwelling under the palm tree of Deḇorah between Ramah and Bĕyth Ěl in the mountains of Ephrayim. And the children of Yisra’ĕl came up to her for right-ruling.
Shoftim 4:6 And she sent and called for Baraq son of Aḇinoʽam from Qeḏesh in Naphtali, and said to him, “Has not יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl commanded, ‘Go, and you shall draw towards Mount Taḇor, and shall take with you ten thousand men of the sons of Naphtali and of the sons of Zeḇulun,
Shoftim 4:7 and I shall draw unto you Sisera, the commander of Yaḇin’s army, with his chariots and his company at the wadi Qishon, and shall give him into your hand’?”
Shoftim 4:8 And Baraq said to her, “If you go with me, then I shall go; but if you do not go with me, I do not go.”
Shoftim 4:9 And she said, “I shall certainly go with you. Only, there shall be no esteem for you in the journey you are taking, for יהוה is going to sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.” So Deḇorah arose and went with Baraq to Qeḏesh.
Shoftim 4:10 And Baraq called Zeḇulun and Naphtali to Qeḏesh. And he went up – ten thousand men under his command – and Deḇorah went up with him.
Shoftim 4:11 And Ḥeḇer the Qĕynite, of the children of Ḥoḇaḇ the father-in-law of Moshe, had separated himself from the Qĕynites and pitched his tent near the terebinth tree at Tsaʽanayim, which is beside Qeḏesh.
Shoftim 4:12 And they reported to Sisera that Baraq son of Aḇinoʽam had gone up to Mount Taḇor.
Shoftim 4:13 So Sisera called all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Ḥarosheth Haggoyim to the wadi Qishon.
Shoftim 4:14 And Deḇorah said to Baraq, “Rise up! For this is the day in which יהוה has given Sisera into your hand. Has not יהוה gone out before you?” And Baraq went down from Mount Taḇor with ten thousand men after him.
Shoftim 4:15 And יהוה destroyed Sisera and all his chariots and all his army with the edge of the sword before Baraq. And Sisera leaped from his chariot and fled away on foot.
Shoftim 4:16 But Baraq pursued the chariots and the army as far as Ḥarosheth Haggoyim, and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword, not one was left.
Shoftim 4:17 Sisera, meanwhile, had fled on foot to the tent of Yaʽĕl, the wife of Ḥeḇer the Qĕynite, for there was peace between Yaḇin sovereign of Ḥatsor and the house of Ḥeḇer the Qĕynite.
Shoftim 4:18 And Yaʽĕl went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, “Turn aside, my master, turn aside to me, do not fear.” So he turned aside with her into the tent, and she covered him with a blanket.
Shoftim 4:19 And he said to her, “Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty.” So she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him a drink, and covered him.
Shoftim 4:20 And he said to her, “Stand at the door of the tent, and it shall be if anyone comes and asks you, and says, ‘Is there a man here?’ you shall say, ‘No.’ ”
Shoftim 4:21 But Yaʽĕl, Ḥeḇer’s wife, took a tent peg and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him and drove the peg into the side of his head, and it went down into the ground – for he was fast asleep and exhausted – and he died.
Shoftim 4:22 And see, as Baraq pursued Sisera, Yaʽĕl came out to meet him, and said to him, “Come, let me show you the man whom you are seeking.” And when he went into her tent, there lay Sisera, dead with the peg in the side of his head.
Shoftim 4:23 And on that day Elohim humbled Yaḇin sovereign of Kenaʽan in the presence of the children of Yisra’ĕl.
Shoftim 4:24 And the hand of the children of Yisra’ĕl grew stronger and stronger against Yaḇin sovereign of Kenaʽan, until they had cut off Yaḇin sovereign of Kenaʽan.
Shoftim 5:1 And on that day Deḇorah and Baraq son of Aḇinoʽam sang, saying,
Shoftim 5:2 “For leaders leading in Yisra’ĕl, for the people volunteering, bless יהוה!
Shoftim 5:3 “Hear, O sovereigns! Give ear, O princes! I, I do sing to יהוה; I sing praise to יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl.
Shoftim 5:4 “יהוה, when You went out from Sĕʽir, when You stepped from the field of Eḏom, the earth shook and the heavens poured, the clouds also poured water.
Shoftim 5:5 “The mountains flowed at the presence of יהוה, this Sinai, at the presence of יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl.
Shoftim 5:6 “In the days of Shamgar, the son of Anath, in the days of Yaʽĕl, the highways were deserted, and the travelers went in crooked ways.
Shoftim 5:7 “Leadership ceased, it ceased in Yisra’ĕl, until I, Deḇorah, arose – a mother in Yisra’ĕl arose.
Shoftim 5:8 “They chose new mighty ones, then fighting was in the gates! Neither a shield nor spear was seen among forty thousand in Yisra’ĕl.
Shoftim 5:9 “My heart is towards the lawgivers of Yisra’ĕl, the volunteers among the people. Bless יהוה!
Shoftim 5:10 “You who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on rich carpets, and you who walk along the way, declare it!
Shoftim 5:11 “By the voice of shouters, between the places of drawing water, there they recount the righteous acts of יהוה, the righteous acts of His leadership in Yisra’ĕl; then the people of יהוה shall go down to the gates.
Shoftim 5:12 “Wake up, wake up, Deḇorah! Wake up, wake up, sing a song! Arise, Baraq, and lead your captives away, O son of Aḇinoʽam!
Shoftim 5:13 “Then He set the remnant to rule the nobles; יהוה came down for me against the mighty ones.
Shoftim 5:14 “Out of Ephrayim their root is against Amalĕq. After you, Binyamin, with your peoples, out of Maḵir lawgivers came down, and out of Zeḇulun those who handle the scribe’s reed.
Shoftim 5:15 “And the heads of Yissasḵar were with Deḇorah. And as Yissasḵar, so was Baraq sent into the valley under his command. Among the divisions of Re’uḇĕn there were great searchings of heart.
Shoftim 5:16 “Why did you remain among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? The divisions of Re’uḇĕn have great searchings of heart.
Shoftim 5:17 “Gilʽaḏ remained beyond the Yardĕn, and why did Dan remain on ships? Ashĕr continued at the seashore, and remained by its landing places.
Shoftim 5:18 “Zeḇulun is a people who risked their lives to the point of death, Naphtali also, on the heights of the field.
Shoftim 5:19 “Sovereigns came, they fought, then the sovereigns of Kenaʽan fought in Taʽanaḵ, by the waters of Meḡiddo; they took no spoils of silver.
Shoftim 5:20 “From the heavens they fought; the stars from their courses fought against Sisera.
Shoftim 5:21 “The wadi of Qishon swept them away, that age-old wadi, the wadi of Qishon. O my being, you have trampled in strength!
Shoftim 5:22 “Then stamped hoofs of horses, with the galloping, galloping of his steeds.
Shoftim 5:23 ‘Curse Mĕroz,’ said a messenger of יהוה, ‘curse, curse its inhabitants, because they did not come to the help of יהוה, to the help of יהוה among the mighty.’
Shoftim 5:24 “Blessed above women is Yaʽĕl, the wife of Ḥeḇer the Qĕynite – above women in tents she is blessed.
Shoftim 5:25 “He asked for water, she gave milk; she brought out curdled milk in a bowl for nobles.
Shoftim 5:26 “She stretched her hand to the tent peg, and her right hand to the workmen’s hammer. Then she pounded Sisera, she smashed his head, she pierced and struck through the side of his head.
Shoftim 5:27 “Between her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay still; between her feet he bowed, he fell; where he bowed, there he fell – destroyed.
Shoftim 5:28 “Through the window the mother of Sisera looked, and cried out through the lattice, ‘Why does his chariot delay to come? Why have the steps of his chariots tarried?’
Shoftim 5:29 “The wise ones of her princesses answered her, indeed, she answered herself,
Shoftim 5:30 ‘Do they not find and divide the spoil: a girl or two for each man; a spoil of dyed work for Sisera, a spoil of dyed work embroidered, dyed work richly embroidered for the necks of the looter?’
Shoftim 5:31 “So do all Your enemies perish, O יהוה! But let those who love Him be like the sun rising in its might!” And the land had rest forty years.
Shoftim 4:4 And Deḇorah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappiḏoth, was ruling Yisra’ĕl at that time.
Shoftim 4:5 And she was dwelling under the palm tree of Deḇorah between Ramah and Bĕyth Ěl in the mountains of Ephrayim. And the children of Yisra’ĕl came up to her for right-ruling.

Shoftim 4:7 and I shall draw unto you Sisera, the commander of Yaḇin’s army, with his chariots and his company at the wadi Qishon, and shall give him into your hand’?”
Shoftim 4:8 And Baraq said to her, “If you go with me, then I shall go; but if you do not go with me, I do not go.”
Shoftim 4:9 And she said, “I shall certainly go with you. Only, there shall be no esteem for you in the journey you are taking, for יהוה is going to sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.” So Deḇorah arose and went with Baraq to Qeḏesh.

Chukat Haftarah
Shoftim 11: 1-33
Jdg 11:1 Now Yiftach, a brave soldier from Gil`ad, was the son of a prostitute. His father, Gil`ad,
Jdg 11:2 had other sons by his wife; and when his wife's sons grew up, they drove Yiftach away and told him, "You will not inherit from our father, because you are another woman's son."
Jdg 11:3 Then Yiftach fled from his brothers and lived in the territory of Tov, where he enlisted a gang of rowdies who would go out raiding with him.
Jdg 11:4 After a while the people of `Amon made war against Yisra’el.
Jdg 11:5 When the army of `Amon attacked Yisra’el, the leaders of Gil`ad went to fetch Yiftach from the territory of Tov
Jdg 11:6 and said to him, "Come and be our chief, so that we can fight the army of `Amon."
Jdg 11:7 Yiftach answered the leaders of Gil`ad, "Didn't you hate me so much that you forced me out of my father's house? Why are you coming to me now, when you're in trouble?"
Jdg 11:8 The leaders of Gil`ad replied, "Here is why we've come back to you now: if you lead us in war with the people of `Amon, you will be head over everyone living in Gil`ad."
Jdg 11:9 Yiftach answered them, "If you bring me back home to fight the army of `Amon, and YHVH defeats them for me, I will be your head."
Jdg 11:10 The leaders of Gil`ad said to Yiftach, "YHVH is witness that we promise to do what you have said."
Jdg 11:11 Then Yiftach went with the leaders of Gil`ad, and the people made him head and chief over them. Yiftach repeated all these conditions at Mitzpah in the presence of YHVH.
Jdg 11:12 Yiftach sent messengers to the king of the people of `Amon to say, "What's your problem with us? Why are you invading our territory?"
Jdg 11:13 The king of `Amon answered the messengers of Yiftach, "Because Yisra’el took away my territory when they came up from Mitsrayim. They took everything from the Arnon to the Yabok and the Yarden. Now, restore it peacefully."
Jdg 11:14 Yiftach sent messengers again to the melech of the people of `Amon
Jdg 11:15 with this response, "Here is what Yiftach has to say: 'Yisra’el captured neither the territory of Mo'av nor the territory of the people of `Amon.
Jdg 11:16 But when Yisra’el came up from Mitsrayim, walked through the desert to the Yam Suf and arrived at Kadesh,
Jdg 11:17 then Yisra’el sent messengers to the king of Edom, to say, "Please let us pass through your land." But the king of Edom wouldn't let them. He sent a similar message to the king of Mo'av, but neither would he, so Yisra’el stayed at Kadesh.
Jdg 11:18 Then they walked through the desert, around the territory of Edom and the territory of Mo'av, past the east border of the territory of Mo'av, and pitched camp on the other side of the Arnon; but they did not cross the border into Mo'av, for the Arnon was the border of Mo'av.
Jdg 11:19 Yisra’el sent messengers to Sichon king of the Emori and king of Heshbon with this message, "Please let us pass through your land to our own place."
Jdg 11:20 But Sichon did not trust that Yisra’el would only pass through his land, so he gathered all his people together, pitched camp in Yahatz and fought against Yisra’el.
Jdg 11:21 YHVH the Elohim of Yisra’el handed Sichon and all his people over to Yisra’el, and they killed them. Thus Yisra’el possessed all the territory of the Emori who lived there.
Jdg 11:22 They took possession of all the territory of the Emori from the Arnon to the Yabok and from the desert to the Yarden.
Jdg 11:23 So now that YHVH the Elohim of Yisra’el has expelled the Emori before his people Yisra’el, do you think that you will expel us?
Jdg 11:24 You should just keep the territory your Elohim K'mosh has given you; while we, for our part, will hold onto whatever YHVH our Elohim has given us of the lands that belonged to others before us.
Jdg 11:25 Really, are you better than Balak the son of Tzippor, king of Mo'av? Did he ever pick a quarrel with Yisra’el or fight with us?
Jdg 11:26 Yisra’el lived in Heshbon and its villages, in `Aro`er and its villages and in all the cities on the banks of the Arnon for three hundred years. Why didn't you take them back during that time?
Jdg 11:27 No, I have done you no wrong. But you are doing me wrong to war against me. May YHVH the Judge be judge today between the people of Yisra’el and the people of `Amon.' "
Jdg 11:28 But the king of the people of `Amon paid no attention to the message Yiftach sent him.
Jdg 11:29 Then the spirit of YHVH came upon Yiftach; and he passed through Gil`ad and M'nasheh, on through Mitzpeh of Gil`ad, and from there over to the people of `Amon.
Jdg 11:30 Yiftach made a vow to YHVH: "If you will hand the people of `Amon over to me,
Jdg 11:31 then whatever comes out the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the people of `Amon will belong to YHVH; I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering."
Jdg 11:32 So Yiftach crossed over to fight the people of `Amon, and YHVH handed them over to him.
Jdg 11:33 He killed them from `Aro`er until you reach Minnit, twenty cities, all the way to Avel-K'ramim; it was a massacre. So the people of `Amon were defeated before the people of Yisra’el.
Jdg 11:1 Now Yiftach, a brave soldier from Gil`ad, was the son of a prostitute. His father, Gil`ad,
Jdg 11:2 had other sons by his wife; and when his wife's sons grew up, they drove Yiftach away and told him, "You will not inherit from our father, because you are another woman's son."
Jdg 11:3 Then Yiftach fled from his brothers and lived in the territory of Tov, where he enlisted a gang of rowdies who would go out raiding with him.
Jdg 11:4 After a while the people of `Amon made war against Yisra’el.
Jdg 11:5 When the army of `Amon attacked Yisra’el, the leaders of Gil`ad went to fetch Yiftach from the territory of Tov
Jdg 11:6 and said to him, "Come and be our chief, so that we can fight the army of `Amon."
Jdg 11:7 Yiftach answered the leaders of Gil`ad, "Didn't you hate me so much that you forced me out of my father's house? Why are you coming to me now, when you're in trouble?"
Jdg 11:8 The leaders of Gil`ad replied, "Here is why we've come back to you now: if you lead us in war with the people of `Amon, you will be head over everyone living in Gil`ad."
Jdg 11:9 Yiftach answered them, "If you bring me back home to fight the army of `Amon, and YHVH defeats them for me, I will be your head."
Jdg 11:10 The leaders of Gil`ad said to Yiftach, "YHVH is witness that we promise to do what you have said."
Jdg 11:11 Then Yiftach went with the leaders of Gil`ad, and the people made him head and chief over them. Yiftach repeated all these conditions at Mitzpah in the presence of YHVH.
Jdg 11:12 Yiftach sent messengers to the king of the people of `Amon to say, "What's your problem with us? Why are you invading our territory?"
Jdg 11:13 The king of `Amon answered the messengers of Yiftach, "Because Yisra’el took away my territory when they came up from Mitsrayim. They took everything from the Arnon to the Yabok and the Yarden. Now, restore it peacefully."
Jdg 11:14 Yiftach sent messengers again to the melech of the people of `Amon
Jdg 11:15 with this response, "Here is what Yiftach has to say: 'Yisra’el captured neither the territory of Mo'av nor the territory of the people of `Amon.

Jdg 11:19 Yisra’el sent messengers to Sichon king of the Emori and king of Heshbon with this message, "Please let us pass through your land to our own place."

Jdg 11:22 They took possession of all the territory of the Emori from the Arnon to the Yabok and from the desert to the Yarden.
Jdg 11:23 So now that YHVH the Elohim of Yisra’el has expelled the Emori before his people Yisra’el, do you think that you will expel us?
Jdg 11:24 You should just keep the territory your Elohim K'mosh has given you; while we, for our part, will hold onto whatever YHVH our Elohim has given us of the lands that belonged to others before us.
