Judges 5:7

Verse 7. Valiant. Hebrew is also translated, “the villages ceased,” as no one thought himself in safety out of the strong cities.—Until. Hebrew “until I, Debbora, arose, that I arose, a mother,” and so forth The Holy Ghost obliges her to declare her own praises. She deserved the glorious title of “mother of her country.”—Mother denotes an authority, mixed with sweetness: such had been exercised by Debbora, in deciding the controversies of the people, ( Calmet.) and in directing them to follow the right path.
