1 I u taj dan peva Devora i Varak sin Avinejemov govoreći:

2 Blagosiljajte Gospoda što učini osvetu u Izrailju i što narod dragovoljno prista.

3 Čujte carevi, slušajte knezovi; ja, ja ću Gospodu pevati, popevaću Gospodu Bogu Izrailjevom.

4 Gospode! Kad si silazio sa Sira, kad si išao iz polja edomskog, zemlja se tresaše, i nebesa kapahu, oblaci kapahu vodom.

5 Brda se rastapahu pred Gospodom; taj Sinaj pred Gospodom Bogom Izrailjevim.

6 Za vremena Samegara sina Anatovog, za vremena Jailjinog nesta puteva, i koji iđahu stazama, iđahu krivim putevima.

7 Nesta sela u Izrailju, nesta ih, dokle ne nastah ja, Devora, dokle ne nastah majka Izrailju.

8 On izabra nove bogove, tada rat beše na vratima; viđaše li se štit ili koplje među četrdeset hiljada u Izrailju?

9 Srce se moje privilo k upraviteljima Izrailjevim, koji dragovoljno pristaše između naroda. Blagosiljajte Gospoda.

10 Koji jašete na belim magaricama, koji sedite u sudu i koji hodite po putevima, pripovedajte.

11 Prestala je praska streljačka na mestima gde se voda crpe; onde neka pripovedaju pravdu Gospodnju, pravdu k selima njegovim u Izrailju; tada će narod Gospodnji silaziti na vrata.

12 Ustani, ustani, Devoro; ustani, ustani, zapevaj pesmu; ustani, Varače, vodi u ropstvo roblje svoje, sine Avinejemov.

13 Sada će potlačeni ovladati silnima iz naroda; Gospod mi dade da vladam silnima.

14 Iz Jefrema iziđe koren njihov na Amalike; za tobom beše Venijamin s narodom tvojim; od Mahira iziđoše koji postavljaju zakone, a od Zavulona pisari.

15 I knezovi Isaharovi biše s Devorom, Isahar kao i Varak bi poslan u dolinu s ljudima koje vođaše. U delu Ruvimovom behu ljudi visokih misli.

16 Što si sedeo među torovima slušajući kako bleje stada? U delu Ruvimovom behu ljudi visokih misli.

17 Galad osta s one strane Jordana; a Dan što se zabavi kod lađa; Asir zašto sede na bregu morskom i u krševima svojim osta?

18 Zavulon je narod koji dade dušu svoju na smrt, tako i Neftalim, na visokom polju.

19 Dođoše carevi, biše se; biše se carevi hananski u Tanahu na vodi megidskoj; ali ni mrve srebra ne dobiše.

20 S neba se vojeva, zvezde s mesta svojih vojevaše na Sisaru.

21 Potok Kison odnese ih, Potok Kadimin, Potok Kison; pogazila si, dušo moja, snažno.

22 Tada izotpadaše konjima kopita od teranja junaka njihovih.

23 Proklinjite Miroz, reče anđeo Gospodnji, proklinjite stanovnike njegove; jer ne dođoše u pomoćGospodu, u pomoćGospodu s junacima.

24 Da je blagoslovena mimo žene Jailja žena Evera Kenejina; mimo žene u šatorima da je blagoslovena.

25 Zaiska vode, mleka mu dade, u gospodskoj zdeli donese mu pavlaku.

26 Levom rukom maši se za kolac a desnom za malj kovački, i udari Sisaru, razmrska mu glavu; probode i probi mu slepe oči.

27 Među noge njene savi se, pade, leže, među noge njene savi se, pade gde se savi, onde pade mrtav.

28 S prozora gledaše majka Sisarina, i kroz rešetku vikaše: Što se tako dugo ne vraćaju kola njegova? Što se tako polako miču točkovi kola njegovih?

29 Najmudrije između dvorkinja njenih odgovarahu joj, a i sama odgovaraše sebi:

30 Nisu li našli? Ne dele li plen? Po jednu devojku, po dve devojke na svakog. Plen šaren Sisari, plen šaren, vezen; šaren, vezen s obe strane, oko vrata onima koji zapeniše.

31 Tako da izginu svi neprijatelji Tvoji, Gospode; a koji te ljube da budu kao sunce kad izlazi u sili svojoj. I zemlja bi mirna četrdeset godina.

8753. 'They came to the wilderness of Sinai' means, they entered a state of good in which the truths of faith were to be implanted. This is clear from the meaning of 'the wilderness of Sinai' as a state of good in which the truths of faith are to be implanted. Here 'wilderness' is good in which truths have not as yet been implanted, and 'Sinai' is actual truths. For 'wilderness' has a number of meanings, 3900, in general what is uninhabited and uncultivated, 2708, so that in the spiritual sense it means good which as yet has no truths in it; for good without truths is spiritually uncultivated. Consequently 'wilderness' means a new will which has not as yet been formed by means of the truths of faith, 8457.

[2] As regards 'Mount Sinai', in the highest sense it means Divine Truth emanating from Divine Good, Divine Good being meant by 'mountain' and Divine Truth by 'Sinai'. In the internal sense it means the truth of faith springing from good, in this instance the truth of faith that is to be implanted in good since the Law had not as yet been declared from there. The reason why 'Mount Sinai' has these meanings is that the Law was declared from there by the Lord, and the Law is Divine Truth emanating from Divine Good, and also is the truth of faith springing from good, 6752, 7463, 8695. This explains why the children of Israel encamped in the wilderness beside this mountain; for not only the Ten Commandments, which are the Law in a restricted sense, were declared from there, but also all the statutes of the Church, which, being representative, held within themselves the spiritual and celestial truths and forms of good of the Lord's kingdom. The fact that the Law was declared from that mountain is clear from Chapter Exodus 20 below; and the fact that the statutes of the Church were as well is clear from Exodus 21 and following chapters; and Leviticus 7:37-38; 27:34. 'Sinai' has the same meaning in David,

O God, when You went out before Your people, when You marched in the wilderness, the earth trembled; the heavens also dropped [rain] before God. This Sinai [trembled] before God. the God of Israel. You cause a rain of blessings to drop down, O God. Psalms 68:7-9.

Here 'Sinai' stands for truth which springs from good, for these are meant by 'the heavens dropped [rain] before God' and by 'God dropped a rain of blessings'.

[3] In the Book of Judges,

O Jehovah, when You went forth from Seir, when You set out from the field of the earth trembled, the heavens also dropped, the clouds indeed dropped water, the mountains flowed down before Jehovah, Sinai itself before Jehovah God of Israel. In the days of Shamgar, son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the roads ceased to be, and those who went along by pathways kept to twisting roads; the streets in Israel ceased to be. They ceased until I, Deborah, arose, until I arose a mother in Israel. Judges 5:4-7.

Here also 'Sinai' stands for the Law or Divine Truth emanating from Divine Good, from which the truths of faith were implanted in the good of faith, those truths also being meant by 'the heavens dropped, and the clouds dropped water'. A lack of the truths of faith and the perversion of them is meant by 'the roads ceased to be, and those who went along by pathways kept to twisting roads', truths being meant by 'roads' or 'ways', 'pathways', and 'streets', see 627, 2333, 3123, 3477. For the theme of this prophetic song, which is the Song of Deborah and Barak, is the perversion of the Church's truth and the renewal of it.

[4] In Moses,

Jehovah came from Sinai, He dawned from Seir upon them; He shone from Mount Paran, and came out of myriads of holiness. From His right hand came a fiery law for them. Deuteronomy 33:2.

Here the children of Jacob are blessed by Moses before his death. He begins the prophetic utterance in his blessing with Jehovah came from Sinai, and in this instance 'Sinai' means the truths of faith in their entirety. The reason why he begins with these words is that all the truths and forms of the good of faith are meant by 'the children of Jacob', 3858, 3862, 3926, 3939, 6335, and in a similar way by 'the children of Israel', 5414, 5951, 5879.
