The Song of Deborah and Barak(10) Speak.--Rather, Think of it. or, perhaps, "Meditate the song." It is placed in the original in far more forcible position at the end of the verse. Ye that ride on white asses.--That is, nobles and wealthy (Judges 10:4; Judges 12:14). The word can hardly mean "white," because there are no such things as white asses. It means rather "bright-coloured" (Ezekiel 27:18), "glossy-skinned," or "dappled" (super nitentes asinos, Vulg.). These were the more valuable sort of asses, and were used by the rich and great. It is only because this was not understood among the Greeks and Romans, who despised the ass, that the LXX. and Josephus so often disguise the word in writing for Gentiles, using p?lon, "steed," or the general word hupozugion, "beast of burden," instead. No incident was more derided among the Gentiles than the riding to Zion of her king, "meek and sitting upon an ass" (Zechariah 9:9), (see the Life of Christ, 2:197). Here though the Alexandrine MS. of the LXX has "on female asses of the South "--i.e., of Ethiopia--we find in other MSS. "on beasts of burden." Ye that sit in judgment.--Rather, ye that sit on rich divans, though our version follows the Vatican MS. of the LXX., the Chaldee, and the Vulgate. The Hebrew is, "ye that sit on middin," and some Jews understood it to mean "at Middin"--i.e., ye inhabitants of the town Middin (which is mentioned in Joshua 15:61, and which they suppose may have been peculiarly oppressed and insulted by the enemy). Others, again, suppose that middin is saddle-cloths (comp. Matthew 21:7). The Alexandrine MS. of the LXX. has epi lampenom--i.e., on sedans or covered chariots. There can be little doubt that it means "bright carpets" (compare mad in Psalm 109:18). . . . Verse 10. - She appeals to the nobles who ride on white (or roan) asses, and sit on rich saddle-cloths (not sit in judgment), and to the people who walk by the way, alike to speak of the great deliverance.Parallel Commentaries ...
