Juízes 5:24

24 Bendita entre todas as mulheres será Jael, mulher de Heber, o queneu; bendita será entre as mulheres nômades.

Juízes 5:24 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 5:24

Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the
Kenite be
Under the same influence that Meroz was cursed, Jael is blessed, the one for not helping Israel in a public way, the other for doing it in a private manner; this blessing is pronounced, either in a way of prayer that it might be, or in a way of prophecy that it should be, and indeed in both:

blessed shall she be above the women in the tent;
above all women that dwell in tents: this being a proper description of a woman, whose character it is to abide in her tent, dwell at home, and mind the business of her family; and may have respect to the manly action she performed in her tent, equal, if not superior, to what was done in the field.

Juízes 5:24 In-Context

23 Amaldiçoai a Meroz, diz o anjo do Senhor, amaldiçoai acremente aos seus habitantes; porquanto não vieram em socorro do Senhor, em socorro do Senhor, entre os valentes.
24 Bendita entre todas as mulheres será Jael, mulher de Heber, o queneu; bendita será entre as mulheres nômades.
25 Água pediu ele, leite lhe deu ela; em taça de príncipes lhe ofereceu coalhada.
26 Â estaca estendeu a mão esquerda, e ao martelo dos trabalhadores a direita, e matou a Sísera, rachando-lhe a cabeça; furou e traspassou-lhe as fontes.
