Key Passages

When Barak arrived in pursuit of Sisera, Jael went out to greet him and said to him, “Come, and I will show you the man you are seeking.” So he went in with her, and there lay Sisera dead, with a tent peg through his temple.
She reached for the tent peg,her right hand for the workman’s hammer.She struck Sisera and crushed his skull;she shattered and pierced his temple.
Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon,and your mouth is lovely.Your brow behind your veilis like a slice of pomegranate.
Your brow behind your veilis like a slice of pomegranate.
