Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the name Lappidoth, as it is a unique proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the concept of "torch" or "flame" can be related to Greek words such as λαμπάς (lampas), meaning "torch" or "lamp," which is Strong's Greek Number 2985.

Usage: The name Lappidoth appears in the Hebrew Bible as the husband of the prophetess Deborah. It is mentioned in the context of Deborah's role as a judge and leader in Israel.

Context: Lappidoth is mentioned in the Book of Judges, specifically in Judges 4:4, where Deborah is introduced as "Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth." The name Lappidoth itself is not associated with any specific actions or narratives beyond this mention. The text does not provide further details about Lappidoth's life or role, focusing instead on Deborah's leadership and prophetic ministry. The mention of Lappidoth serves to identify Deborah's marital status, which was a common practice in ancient texts to provide context and legitimacy to a person's social standing. The name Lappidoth, meaning "torches" or "flames," may symbolically reflect the fiery and illuminating nature of Deborah's prophetic and judicial role in Israel.
