Deborah and Barak deliver them from Jabin and Sisera17. Jael kills Sisera Now Deborah, a prophetess Deborah is one of the few female prophets mentioned in the Bible, highlighting her unique role in a predominantly patriarchal society. Her position as a prophetess indicates that she was a spokesperson for God, receiving and delivering divine messages. This role is significant as it underscores the idea that God can choose anyone, regardless of gender, to fulfill His purposes. Other notable prophetesses in the Bible include Miriam (Exodus 15:20) and Huldah (2 Kings 22:14). Deborah's prophetic role also foreshadows the New Testament teaching that in Christ, there is neither male nor female (Galatians 3:28), emphasizing spiritual equality. the wife of Lappidoth was judging Israel at that time Persons / Places / Events 1. DeborahA prophetess and judge of Israel, Deborah is a unique figure in the Old Testament. She is one of the few female leaders mentioned in the Bible, known for her wisdom and courage. Her role as a judge indicates her leadership and spiritual authority in Israel during a time of oppression. 2. Lappidoth Mentioned as Deborah's husband, little is known about Lappidoth. His mention highlights Deborah's marital status, which was significant in the cultural context of the time. 3. Israel The nation of Israel was under oppression by the Canaanite king Jabin during this period. Deborah's leadership was crucial in rallying the Israelites to seek deliverance from their enemies. 4. Prophetess Deborah's role as a prophetess signifies her ability to receive and communicate God's messages. This role was vital in guiding Israel according to God's will. 5. Judging Deborah's position as a judge involved settling disputes and providing leadership. This role was both judicial and military, as judges often led Israel in battles against their oppressors. Teaching Points God's Use of Women in LeadershipDeborah's role as a judge and prophetess demonstrates that God can and does use women in significant leadership positions. This challenges cultural norms and encourages the church to recognize and support the gifts of women in ministry. Courage and Faith in Leadership Deborah's account is a testament to the courage and faith required to lead God's people. Her reliance on God's guidance serves as a model for leaders today to seek divine wisdom and strength. The Importance of Spiritual Discernment As a prophetess, Deborah's ability to discern God's will was crucial. Believers are encouraged to cultivate a deep relationship with God to discern His guidance in their lives. Unity and Cooperation in God's Work Deborah's collaboration with Barak in leading Israel to victory illustrates the importance of unity and cooperation among God's people. Working together in obedience to God brings about His purposes.(4) Deborah.--The name means "bee," like the Greek Melissa. The names of Jewish women were often derived from natural objects, as Rachel, "a lamb," Tamar,"a palm," &c. It has been sometimes regarded as a title given to her as a prophetess, just as the priestesses of Delphi were called Bees (Pindar, Pyth. iv. 106); and priests were called by the title Malebee (Ess?n). But the fact that Rachel's nurse (Genesis 35:8) had the same name is against this supposition, though Josephus (Antt. v., ? 5) accepts it. She had, as Cornelius a Lapide quaintly says, "a sting for foes, and honey for friends." The pronunciation Deb?rah is now so deeply-rooted in England (possibly from the Vulgate, Debbora) that it would, perhaps, be pedantic to alter it; but properly the "?" is long ?????; LXX., Deborra and Debb?ra). A prophetess.--Literally, a woman, a prophetess; like Miriam (Exodus 15:20), Huldah (2Kings 22:14), Noadiah (Nehemiah 6:14), Anna (Luke 2:36), &c. She is the only female judge, or, indeed, female ruler of any kind in Jewish history, except the Phoenician murderess, Athaliah. She is also the only judge to whom the title "prophet" is expressly given. "Prophetess" (like the Latin Vates) implies the possession of poetic as well as of prophetic gifts (Exodus 15:20); and we see her right to such a title, both in her predictions (Judges 4:9), her lofty courage (Judges 5:7), and the splendour of her inspired song (Judges 5). She has modern parallels in the Teutonic prophetesses, Veleda and Alaurinia (Tac., Germ. 8), and Joan of Arc, the "Inspired Maid of Domremi." Among the Jews prophetesses were the exception; among the ancient Germans they were the rule. . . .
