Endnote 14 – Why Deborah’s Different
The generally more sermonic tone of Pseudo-Philo’s version of the Song of Deborah (32:1–18, esp. v. 14) and a concluding farewell address (33:1–6) lend support to this “prophetic” interpretation of Deborah’s role. For a translation of these texts, see Daniel J. Harrington in James H. Charlesworth, ed., The Old Testament Pseudepigrapha, 2 vols. (Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1985), vol. 2, pp. 345–348.
