lovely story and i like how you tell it. now let me write a few things i believe we can 'glen' of what we are suppose to understand, without having the text to state it more concretely. to state them, the real issue may seem vulgar or unseeingly..the poor lady alone in her tent, was Jael. she, and please allow no young folks to read this next part, she was likely raped. that would make the sleep that over came her assailant more believable. the enemies of the people it alludes to in the text were often 'assaulting' the woman and children. the general believed he was safe, for her tribe was not at war with this good woman's tribe., but she was a relative[through marriage] to Moses. she did what any good woman would do to a bully thug and 'pegged him to the floor'. she is also a woman hero of Israel! she did not break the sacred laws of hospitality, she merely enforced the even older and more holy laws of what to do with those that violate! God's law!HOPE feb 21, 2023, violators, die poor!
