Lappidoth
Lappidoth
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 mens names, e.g. Meremoth.

Lappidoth
lapi-doth, -doth (, lappdhoth, flames, torches; the King James Version, Lapidoth): Deborah’s husband (Jdg 4:4). The Hebrew name is a feminine plural like Jeremoth (1Ch 7:8), Naboth (1Ki 21:1). The plural is probably intensive. Jewish interpreters have identified Lappidoth (flames) with Barak (lightning). Some have taken the words rendered wife of Lappidoth (‘esheth lappdhoth) as a description of Deborah, and have translated them, woman of lights, i.e. maker of wicks for the sanctuary; or woman of flames, referring to her prophetic zeal. These explanations are more interesting than probable.
