Commentaire sur Les Juges 5:24
תְּבֹרַךְ֙ מִנָּשִׁ֔ים יָעֵ֕ל אֵ֖שֶׁת חֶ֣בֶר הַקֵּינִ֑י מִנָּשִׁ֥ים בָּאֹ֖הֶל תְּבֹרָֽךְ׃
Bénie soit, entre les femmes, Jaël, l’épouse du Kénéen Héber; entre les femmes, sous la tente, soit-elle bénie!
Rashi on Judges
By the women of the tent. Sarah, of whom it is said, "Here she is, in the tent."43Bereishis, 18:9. Rivkah, of whom it is said, "Yitzchak brought her to the tent."44Ibid, 24:67. Rachel and Leah, of whom it is said, "He left Leah's tent and entered Rachel's tent."45Ibid, 31:33.

Blessed, etc.: Since she said to curse the inhabitants of Meroz, she [also] said, "But Yael is to be blessed by the mouths of the women, because she assisted Israel."

Radak on Judges
Blessed: Meroz shall be cursed, but Yael shall be blessed, since she was alacritous to help the Lord in the place where she was, in her tent. So she was more blessed than the other women that sat in tents.

Rashi on Judges
Blessed by the women of the tent. Yael was blessed. Why? They bore and raised children. Were it not for Yael, this scoundrel would have annihilated them. This is taught in Breishis Rabbah.46 Another interpretation: Yael, as well, remained in the tent,47 and she is therefore, mentioned in the blessing of the women of the tents.

Than/from women in tents: That is to say, by the mouths of righteous and modest women who dwell in tents. It is from these women that she she should be blessed, so that the blessing will be fulfilled - even if the angel of the Lord did not say it, like the curse of Meroz.
