Footnotes
אַלּוֹן בָּכוּת (Allon-Bakhut) — "Oak of Weeping" — grief permanently inscribed in the landscape by name. Devorah appears only once elsewhere (Genesis 24:59) as Rivkah's departing attendant; her presence here implies she remained with the extended household through the years. The oak (allon) is distinct from the terebinth (elah) of v.4. FOG preserves the Hebrew; FOG Message both translates and transliterates, making the etymology audible to the English reader.
