(8) [Rebekah said:] "Now, my son, listen carefully as I instruct you. (9) Go to the flock and fetch me two choice kids, and I will make of them a dish for your father, such as he likes. (10) Then take it to your father to eat, in order that he may bless you before he dies."
(18) Yael came out to greet Sisera and said to him, “Come in, my lord, come in here, do not be afraid.” So he entered her tent, and she covered him with a blanket. (19) He said to her, “Please let me have some water; I am thirsty.” She opened a skin of milk and gave him some to drink; and she covered him again. (20) He said to her, “Stand at the entrance of the tent. If anybody comes and asks you if there is anybody here, say ‘No.’” (21) Then Yael, wife of Heber, took a tent pin and mallet. When Sisera was fast asleep from exhaustion, she approached him stealthily and drove the pin through his temple, all the way down to the ground. Thus he died.
(טז) ותקם ותלבש את בגדיה החמודות ותשם כל עדיה עליה ותלך:
(יז) ואמתה הלכה לפניה לפרוש את הכרים...לשבת עליהם: (יח) ויהי בשבתה ותבער בו אש התאווה ונפשו שוקקה...ויאמר אליה שתי נא בתי והיטיבי לבך: ... (כ) וישמח הלופרנש לקראתה והוא שותה שכור כאשר לא שתה כל ימיו: (א) ויהי באישון לילה ויפנו עבדיו איש איש לאוהלו ולחדר משכבו:
(ב) כי עייפים היו מרוב המשתה ובגוא סגר את הדלת מאחריו ויצא:
(ג) ותישאר יהודית לבדה באוהל עם הלופרנש והוא שכור מיין וייפול על מיטתו ויירדם: ... (ט) ותיגש אל העמוד אשר בראש המיטה ותיקח את חרב הלופרנש מעליו: (י) ותשלח את ידה ותיקחהו בציצית ראשו ותאמר יי אלוקים חזקני נא ואמצני אך הפעם: (יא) ותך בחוזקה פעמים על צווארו ותכרות את ראשו ותגל נבלתו מעל המיטה ותיקח היריעה מעל העמוד ותצא: (יב) ותיתן את ראש הלופרנש לאמתה ותצווה לתתו אל השק:
(16) [Judith] arose, and she decked herself out with her apparel and all her woman's attire. (17) And her maid went and laid soft skins on the ground for her opposite Holofernes.... (18) Now when Judith came in and sat down with Holofernes, his heart was inflamed with her, and his mind was stirred up, and he greatly desired her company.... Then Holofernes said to her, "Drink now and be merry with us." ... (20) And Holofernes took great delight in her, and he drank more wine than he had drunk at any time in one day since he was born. (1) Now when evening had arrived, his servants hurried to depart...and they went to their beds, (2) for they were all weary because the feast had been long. (3) And Judith was left alone in the tent with Holofernes lying by himself on his bed, for he was filled with wine. ... (9) Then she went to the pillar of the bed, which was at Holofernes' head, and took down his broadsword from there.
(10) And she approached his bed, and took hold of the hair of his head, and said, "Strengthen me, O Eternal God of Israel, this day." (11) And she twice struck his neck with all her might, and she took his head away from him. And she tumbled his body down from the bed, and pulled down the canopy from the pillars; and, soon after, she went out (12), put the head of Holofernes in a sack, and gave it to her maid.
