Abstract
ABSTRACT This study examines the significance of doublets (repeated or paralleled narratives, events, themes within a text) specifically the two altars and the two names for Gideon, in Judges 6. It shows their significance for the theme of equivocation in Judges and the characterisation of Gideon in particular, and helps locate this theme within the Deuteronomistic History as a whole.
