Who Was Judge Deborah Or Barak

The story of Deborah and Barak in the book of Judges has caused many hierarchists to assign the God-given work of judge delivering the people of Israel to Barak while denying that God raised up Deborah as a deliverer. By assigning a calling to Barak that scripture never assigns, it appears that the

Mike Winger idea 2022-03-14

Analysis of 'teshukah' (desire): lexicons show it could mean sexual desire or desire to dominate; it appears only 3 times in the OT.

Hebrew word study on 'desire' in Gen 3:16

Song 7:10 Gen 3:16 teshukah Gen 4:7
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-14

Belleville's counter: all three uses of 'teshukah' are linked by gender/intimacy -- she interprets Gen 4:7 as a lion wanting to 'consume' (intimate metaphor) Cain. Mike finds this forced.

Belleville's attempt to maintain the intimacy reading across all three uses

Song 7:10 Linda Belleville teshukah Gen 4:7
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-14

NET Bible note supports the control interpretation: Gen 3:16 announces a power struggle where the woman desires to control the man but the man will dominate her instead.

Scholarly support for the control/conflict interpretation

Song 7:10 Gen 3:16 Gen 4:7 Song 7:10
