Strong's Lexicon Deborah: Deborah Original Word: דְּבּוֹרָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root דָּבַר (dabar), meaning "to speak" or "to arrange," which is also related to the word דְּבוֹרָה (deborah), meaning "bee." 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 noun specific to Hebrew culture and history. Usage: The name Deborah is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to two distinct women. The most prominent is Deborah, the prophetess and judge of Israel, who played a crucial role in the deliverance of Israel from Canaanite oppression. The name signifies qualities of leadership, wisdom, and industriousness, akin to the characteristics of a bee. 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 deliverance, and subsequent deliverance by judges raised by God. As a prophetess and judge, Deborah held a unique position of authority and respect in a patriarchal society. Her leadership was instrumental in rallying the tribes of Israel against the Canaanite king Jabin and his commander Sisera.
