5:1-31 This song, a victory hymn usually credited to Deborah, presents a second, more poetic account of the entire battle with various details that supplement the prose account. It is one of the most ancient Hebrew poems. It blesses the Lord, those tribes who responded to the muster, and Jael. It curses those who remained at home, Sisera, and his mother’s entourage. It contrasts conditions before Barak’s victory, when the Lord’s curse was on the land, with the life of blessing in the wake of the warriors’ righteous acts. It ends with a prayer that the Lord’s enemies will perish like Sisera (5:31).
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
תִּשְׁלַ֔חְנָה
reached
The pronoun They refers to Jael’s hands. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “Her hands reached out”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
תִּשְׁלַ֔חְנָה
reached
The song is speaking of Jael’s hands as if they were living things that could have reached out by themselves. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “She reached out with her hands”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
יָדָהּ֙
hand,her
The context indicates that the word hand here means Jael’s left hand. Alternate translation: “her left hand”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
מָחֲקָ֣ה רֹאשׁ֔וֹ וּמָחֲצָ֥ה וְחָלְפָ֖ה רַקָּתֽוֹ
crushed his/its=head and,shattered and,pierced temple,his
These two phrases are saying the same thing. The second phrase emphasizes the meaning of the first by being more specific. If it would be clearer in your language, you could combine the phrases and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “she drove the peg right through his temple and smashed his head”
