Context Reading
4“Yahweh, when you went out of Seir,when you marched out of the field of Edom,the earth trembled, the sky also dropped.Yes, the clouds dropped water. 5The mountains quaked at Yahweh’s presence,even Sinai at the presence of Yahweh, the God of Israel. 6“In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath,in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied.The travelers walked through byways. 7The rulers ceased in Israel.They ceased until I, Deborah, arose;Until I arose a mother in Israel. 8They chose new gods.Then war was in the gates.Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
