6: What are "byways"? Why are they safer than highways?
Other versions say "crooked paths" or "winding pathways" or "side roads." This amounts to going the long way around to avoid the trouble presented on the main roads.
23: Who is Meroz? And isn't it odd to say that they did not come to the "help of the Lord?" My God never needs help...
It is not that God needed the help, it was just the fact that they did not help their fellow man. So they are mentioned cursed.
30: Why are we talking about spoil? What is meant by "A womb or two for every man?"
This is the reason why Sisera's mother (hypothetically) assumes that he is late in coming home. He is taking home riches of various kinds, and yes, enough female slaves for every male to have one or two.
Answer the call of the Lord! And he will do great things with your life.
Right now, I feel my call is to think less of myself. Be a little more selfless and serve a bit more. My husband especially, of whom I expect so much...
