168 years passed between the two wars that the Jewish People fought against a Yavin king of Chatzor. The first was in Yehoshua's times (Josh. ch. 10), in the year 2488; the second was Devorah and Barak's battle (Jud. chs. 4-5 - last week's haftarah), in 2656. (Incidentally, both of these battles also featured Hashem orchestrating supernatural celestial displays: the hailstones, and the sun standing still, the first time around; and "the stars in their courses" fighting against the Canaanite army the second time.) |
