Jueces 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.

Jueces 5:24 In-Context

22 Despalm谩ronse entonces las u帽as de los caballos Por las arremetidas, por los brincos de sus valientes.
23 Maldecid 谩 Meroz, dijo el 谩ngel de Jehov谩: Maldecid severamente 谩 sus moradores, Porque no vinieron en socorro a Jehov谩, En socorro 谩 Jehov谩 contra los fuertes.
24 Bendita sea entre las mujeres Jael, Mujer de Heber Cineo; Sobre las mujeres bendita sea en la tienda.
25 El pidi贸 agua, y di贸le ella leche; En taz贸n de nobles le present贸 manteca.
26 Su mano tendi贸 谩 la estaca, Y su diestra al mazo de trabajadores; Y maj贸 谩 S铆sara, hiri贸 su cabeza, Llag贸 y atraves贸 sus sienes.
