"By having Sisera fall and saying that he ’lay’ at Jael’s feet-more literally, ’between her feet [or legs]’-the poet suggests the sexual dimension of the scene. The potential rapist is subdued by the potential victim; that is, the poet contributes to what is also evident in the narrative version in Judges 4:17-22 -the ’womanization’ of Sisera . . ."
