Subjects in this Topic:
LAPPIDOTH (‘torches’ or ‘lightning flashes’).—The husband of Deborah the prophetess (Jdg_4:4). Some commentators take the term to be descriptive of the character of Deborah, ‘a woman of lightning flashes.’ In favour of this they urge the feminine termination -oth, but the same termination is found elsewhere to men’s names, e.g. Meremoth.
