Great question. The playlist that has all 32 studies from the Bible Study is in the play list that says "Bible Study: 'Broken, Searching, Trusted Powerful'" It's the second one down on the channel site, and the eleventh one down on the playlist menu.
I believe she was married and the wife of lapidoth. Her husband was a representative of The meaning of the name. Torch and light pouring into her though she was the prophet and judge of isreal. Lets not for that despite of her being ruler she had never forgotten her womanly duties and that also was to honor her husband and take care of her home... she was a woman of virtue and thus portraying the heart/nature of God.
Thank you for your response. The text does not say either way, so both possibilities are textually supportable. Deborah's marriage (apart from the ambiguous wording of her designation, either "the woman of fire" or "the wife of Lappidoth") and married life never come into the passage. So, understanding what that aspect of her life was like takes conjecture based upon understanding the culture of her day. If Deborah was a fiery woman, a woman of powerful authority, she may not have been married at all. If Deborah was the wife of Lappidoth, depending on their wealth, she may have run her household through her servants. No children are mentioned either, which is highly unusual for the Bible if Deborah did have children. That she is called the mother in/of Israel in Judges 5:7 tends to imply she did not have children of her own, which meant all Israel was as her children. Certainly Proverbs 31 (written centuries later), which speaks of the woman of virtue, could apply to Deborah as she cared for the entire nation.
Brilliantly presented. Thank you! God bless you.
Thank you so much, and grateful God had something in this for you
