<p>We discuss three topics in the song of Deborah:</p><p>1. The rainstorm that helped the Israelites to win the war</p><p>2. The way Deborah praises tribes that took part in the war effort and roundly critizises those who remained at home.</p><p>3. The role of women in the story, especially Yael.</p>
