Judges 4:8

Verse 8. Not go. Septuagint and Saint Augustine (q. 26,) add, “because I know not when the Lord will send his angel to grant me success.” Saint Paul (Hebrews 11:32,) praises the faith of Barac, so that he spoke thus out of prudence, that the people, seeing ( Calmet.) their revered prophetess in his company, ( Bible.) might not condemn the undertaking as too rash and perilous. He therefore entreats her, in this earnest manner, to come with him, and point out the time when he must attack the enemy.
