Keyword (Name): Devorah דְבֹורָה
(Bee!)
“At that time Devorah, a prophetess, wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel” (Judges 4:4)
The Hebrew word ne-viah (נביאה), which is the female form of the Hebrew word for prophet (navi), is very rare, appearing only five times in the entire Bible!
It's also interesting that the following verse:“You arose as a mother in Israel” (em b’Yisrael) (Judges 5:6)
It gives special praise to Devorah!In Hebrew the name De-vo-rah means “bee”, an allusion to the vicious sting she inflicted on the Canaanites!! Names have destiny in the Hebrew Bible!
