Striking implement in Sisera's death · dominant
In Judges 5:26, the feminine singular construct form occurs in the clause about the right hand and an implement; the APB renders the verse, "her right hand to the workmen's hammer," before describing Sisera being struck, his head crushed, and his temple pierced.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Judges 5:26, the APB presents the clause as "her right hand to the workmen's hammer." This rendering confirms the verse's implement context without isolating every contribution of the Hebrew form.
