Just as we’ll have both “major” and “minor” prophets in Course 3, Judges includes both major and minor judges. But be careful with the distinction. Minor judges aren’t the “minor league” or “reserve team” of Israel. They just have less space devoted to them; we learn less about them. The “major” judges, on the other hand, are the ones who get more attention. 

Read Judges 3:7-31.

1. Identify which of the three judges in this passage is regarded as a minor judge. (Record the name of the minor judge in your workbook.)
