24 Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite shall be blessed above other women, above women shall she be blessed in tents.
24 Iahell the wife of Heber the Kenite shalbe blessed aboue other women, aboue women shall she be blessed in tentes.
When she had cursed the wicked City, by a contrary phrase she addeth a good prayer: as the City Meroz was worthy to be cursed, so of the contrary was Jael to be commended. Christ in the last day of Judgement will not only say: Come ye blessed of my Father: but on the contrary part, he will add: Go ye cursed. Here is in his place a part of the salvation of the angel Mary, as it is described in Luke: Blessed art thou above women. Which clause is here twice put for the greater moving. But in that in this repetition it is added, In tents, it may be thus interpreted, For this cause let this woman be praised, because she dwelleth in tents. So that by a wonderful, compendiousness of one word, the slaying of Sisera is noted, which happened not in the camps, but was done in the tent. Or else we may say that Jael is to be praised above other women dwelling in tents. For the family of the Kenites dwelled not in houses but in tents. Wherefore she is praised above all the women Kenites, which are signified by this word tents.
When she had cursed the wicked Citie, by a contrary phrase she addeth a good prayer: as the City Meroz was worthy to be cursed, so of the contrary was Iahel to be commended. Christ in the last daye of Iudgement wyll not onely saye: Come ye blessed of my Father: but on the contrary parte, he wyll adde: Go ye cursed. Here is in hys place a parte of the saluation of the aungell Mary, as it is described in Luke: Blessed art thou aboue women. Whiche clause is here twise put for the greater mouing. But in that in this repetitiō it is added, In tentes, it may be thus interpreted, For this cause let this woman be praysed, bycause she dwelleth in tentes. So that by a wonderfull, compendiousnesse of one worde, the slaying of Sisera is noted, which happened not in the campes, but was done in ye tente. Or els we may say that Iahell is to be praysed aboue other womē dwellyng in tentes. For the family of the Kenites dwelled not in houses but in tentes. Wherefore she is praysed aboue all the women Kenites, which are signified by this worde tentes.
