ABSTRACT

This paper analyzes Judges chapters 4-5 through the literary methodology of structural criticism, thereby profoundly exploring the text’s internal dynamics and the author’s intent. This approach confirms the importance of a critical method that structurally derives the meaning inherent in the text, going beyond mere historical facts. Specifically, the process of using the critical tools of others to complete one’s own interpretive structure and formulate questions enabled a key insight: a focus on the parallel structure of the mother-child motif found in the stories of Jael and Sisera’s mother.
