Description
Summary:The Song of Deborah can be fruitfully analyzed as a literary whole which manifests a complex and intricate structure. In this article I first argue for the value of a unified treatment before presenting my own three-fold analysis. I demonstrate that there are important structuring devices within the text which have been ignored in the literature, and that vv. 2–8 and 9–22 run in close structural and thematic parallel to one another. I then turn to an examination of some of the literary devices at work in the Song of Deborah and make some observations about the types of poetic techniques it employs.
