Answer: Deborah by the Jews is considered a prophet and was the one who led the attack on the Canaanites.

Explanation: Deborah is a woman who is not as popular as other prophets, but she did have a fundamental role in reaching the promised land, the one that God promised Abraham and his descent. Deborah told the military Barak to be by her side in the battle with the Canaanites, as part of a revelation that came from God. At first, Barak doubted her but then he was with her. She is important to Judaism as she helped bring the Canaanites out of the promised land.
