Berean Strong's Lexicon deborah: Deborah Original Word: דְּבוֹרָה Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּבַר (dabar), meaning "to speak" or "to arrange." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Deborah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper name specific to Hebrew culture and history. Usage: The name Deborah means "bee" in Hebrew. In the Bible, Deborah is a prominent female figure known for her role as a prophetess and judge of Israel. Her account is primarily found in the Book of Judges, where she is depicted as a leader who delivers Israel from Canaanite oppression. Cultural and Historical Background: Deborah lived during the period of the Judges, a time characterized by a cyclical pattern of Israel's disobedience, oppression by foreign powers, cries for help, and deliverance by judges. As a prophetess, Deborah held a unique position of spiritual and civic authority, which was rare for women in ancient Israelite society. Her leadership is notable for its wisdom, courage, and reliance on God's guidance. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom dabar Definition a bee NASB Translation bee (1), bees (3).
