Bible Question: what is meant by deborah,s name being bee and she was named because a phenomenon at birth? |
Bible Answer: Hi wbrinson, Many people were named due to the circumstances of their birth, but I am not aware of any stories concerning Deborah's birth. Some have suggested "Deborah" is a title. Fausset includes this observation: "a honey bee to her friends, a stinging bee to the enemy (Cornelius a Lapide)." But the Bible doesn't tell us if her name was prophetic, or simply a bee wouldn't go away as she was being born! Yikes! Love in Christ, Mark |
