Note 311 — Chapter V · THE AGE OF THE JUDGES
Reading edition
Judg. v. 15. Literally the words are: ‘Issachar [is] like Barak.’ The Heb. kên is the Assyrian kêmi, ‘like,’ and is used in the same way as kida in modern Egyptian Arabic. It is criticism run wild to assert with Budde, Wellhausen, and others, that Deborah also is described as belonging to Issachar.
