"And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, “Turn aside, my lord, turn aside to me; do not fear.” And when he had turned aside with her into the tent, she covered him with a blanket."
"Most blessed among women is Jael, / The wife of Heber the Kenite; / Blessed is she among women in tents. / He asked for water, she gave milk; / She brought out cream in a lordly bowl. / She stretched her hand to the tent peg, / Her right hand to the workmen’s hammer;/ She pounded Sisera, she pierced his head, / She split and struck through his temple."
"Yes, that God who in the crimson wave | closed the river that pursued Israel, | who placed the hammer in the fist of the manly Jael | and directed the blow."
