Villages
(Judg 5:7, Judg 5:11). The Hebrew word thus rendered (perazon) means habitations in the open country, unwalled villages (Deut 3:5; 1 Sam 6:18). Others, however, following the LXX. and the Vulgate versions, render the word “rulers.”
From Easton’s Bible Dictionary (1897), by Matthew George Easton.
