These dozen desert tribes, cursed with the incoherence of Semitic life, were brought together and kept together by their common trust in their Deity. When, after the settle- ment in Palestine, among the diverse oppor- tunities which the broken geography of the land so remarkably affords, they were tempted to separate from their common interests upon widely divergent lines of culture, ^ it was, as the Book of Judges testifies, not by a return to the Law that they were united but by the recollec-... tion of their debt to Jahweh. In Deborah's as in Gideon's case, memory was the nurse to faith, and the conviction of His unfaltering desire to help them rallied the people against their foreign tyrants. The opening verse of Deborah's Song gives us the whole secret of the national inspira- tion in a tribute of glory to Jahweh : For that the leaders took the lead in Israel, For that the people offered themselves willingly? Praise ye Jahweh ! In the end of the Song which thus grandly opens, we are repelled by the savage exultation of a woman over the treacherous murder of a defeated foe.
