Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root דָּבַר (dabar), meaning "to speak" or "to arrange."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun Deborah in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as it is a Hebrew name. However, the name may appear transliterated in Greek texts of the Septuagint or New Testament references to Old Testament figures.

Usage: The name Deborah is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to two distinct individuals:

• Deborah, the prophetess and judge of Israel during the time of the Judges.
• Deborah, the nurse of Rebekah, who is mentioned in the context of Jacob's return to Bethel.

Context: Deborah the Prophetess and Judge: Deborah is one of the most prominent female figures in the Old Testament. She is introduced in the Book of Judges as a prophetess and the only female judge of Israel. Her story is primarily found in Judges 4 and 5. Deborah is depicted as a wise and courageous leader who, under divine inspiration, summons Barak to lead an army against the Canaanite oppressor, Sisera. Her faith and leadership are celebrated in the "Song of Deborah," a victory hymn recorded in Judges 5, which is one of the oldest passages in the Bible. The song praises God for the deliverance of Israel and highlights Deborah's role as a "mother in Israel" (Judges 5:7, BSB).

Deborah, the Nurse of Rebekah: This Deborah is mentioned in Genesis 35:8. She was the nurse of Rebekah, the wife of Isaac, and accompanied Jacob's family. Her death is recorded at a place called Allon Bacuth, which means "Oak of Weeping," indicating the deep sorrow felt at her passing.
