Usage: The name Barak is used in the New Testament to refer to the Old Testament figure, Barak, a military leader during the time of the Judges.

Context: Barak is a prominent figure in the Old Testament, specifically in the Book of Judges. He is known for his role as a military leader who, under the prophetic guidance of Deborah, led the Israelites to victory against the Canaanite army led by Sisera. Barak's story is primarily found in Judges 4 and 5. Despite initial hesitation, Barak agreed to lead the battle on the condition that Deborah would accompany him. This condition highlights his reliance on divine guidance through the prophetess. The victory over Sisera's forces is celebrated in the "Song of Deborah" in Judges 5, which is one of the oldest passages in the Bible. Barak is also mentioned in the New Testament in Hebrews 11:32, where he is listed among the heroes of faith, demonstrating his significance in the biblical narrative as a man of faith who trusted in God's deliverance.
