According to the Book of Judges, Deborah (Hebrew: דְּבוֹרָה, Dəḇōrā) was a prophetess of Judaism, the fourth Judge of pre-monarchic Israel and the only female judge mentioned in the Hebrew Bible.
Deborah was the wife of Lappidoth and possibly a mother. Although some theologians think that when she’s called “a mother in Israel” (Judges 5:7) it’s describing her as a godly matriarch.
Who Was Deborah in the Bible and Why Was She So Important?
Deborah is one of the most influential women in the Bible. She is mainly known as a prophetess and a judge in Israel. Her story is primarily found in the Book of Judges, specifically in Judges 4 and 5. As a prophet, Deborah was said to hear God's voice and share God’s Word with others.
Deborah was one of the judges of Israel during a time of oppression. She is called a prophetess and the wife of Lappidoth. The Lord spoke through her as she held court under a tree called “the Palm of Deborah” in Ephraim. The Lord also used her to set her people free and defeat the king of Canaan.
