Discussion
This heading is for more detailed discussions of all or part of a passage. Discussion may include the meaning of a particular word, how a doctrinal point is developed throughout the passage, insights to be developed in the future, and other items. Contributions may range from polished paragraphs down to a single bullet point. The focus, however, should always be on understanding the scriptural text consistent with LDS doctrine.

Verse 3:19
- Quarries. This is sometimes translated "images," referring to idols. The mention here also serves a narrative purpose in establishing a reference point of safety—that is, when Ehud comes back to these quarries in verse 26, he is considered safe. This may also serve a boundary point beyond which Ehud's actions are considered dubious in deceiving Eglon.
Verse 26
- Passed beyond the quarries. The word `abar ("pass beyond") is also used in 2:20 in describing the Israelites transgressing God's covenants. Some scholars take this as condemnatory phraseology of Ehud's treacherous actions toward Eglon. See also the commentary for verse 19 regarding quarries.
Verses 3:30-31
- And after him. At the end of verse 30 in the Septuagint is the additional phrase "And Ehud judged them until he died." This seems to clarify the antecedant him in verse 31 as referring to Ehud.
Verses 4:1-5
- Palm tree. Some scholars conjecture that this is the same tree that Deborah in Gen 35:8 was buried under.
Verse 4:6
- Barak. Barak means lightning. Interestingly, Heb 11:32 mentions Barak, but not Deborah.
Verse 4:11
- Hobab. This verse suggests that Hobab and Jethro are the same person, although there seems to be some disagreement among scholars on interpreting this. (See note 36 in the NET Bible's entry for Numbers 11, and the Jewish Encyclopedia's entry on Jethro.)
Verse 4:19
- Milk. Some scholars note that goat milk has a soporific effect (cf. 5:25).
Verse 5:7
- Ceased. The Anchor Bible argues, based on a Hebrew homonym, that this should be translated "grew plump" (having the poetic meaning "obtuse or complacent").

- Deborah, Jael. See this subpage for a perspective on women in the book of Judges.

Notes
Footnotes are not required but are encouraged for factual assertions that average readers cannot easily evaluate for themselves, such as the date of King Solomon’s death or the nuanced definition of a Greek word. In contrast, insights rarely benefit from footnoting, and the focus of this page should always remain on the scriptures themselves rather than what someone has said about them. Links are actively encouraged on all sections of this page, and links to authoritative sources are preferable to footnotes.
