<p> (Hebrew Lappidoth', לִפַּידוֹת, ''Torches;'' Sept. Λαφιδώθ ), the husband of Deborah the prophetess ( Judges 4:4). He may have resided with her at the time of her public services as female judge ( Judges 4:5), or more probably he was deceased. and she is named as his widow. B.C. ante 1409. From the fact that the name is in the form of a fem. plur., some have taken it to mean her place of residence (אֵשֶׁת, ''Woman Of,'' being understood before it), but without probability (Bertheau, ad loc.). By others the term [[Lappidoth]] has been understood to denote merely her character (q.d. "woman of splendors," i.e., noble, brilliant), or even her occupation merely (q.d. ''Lamp- Trimmer);'' but all these are equally nugatory suppositions. (See Deborah). </p> | <p> (Hebrew Lappidoth', '''''לִפַּידוֹת''''' , ''Torches;'' Sept.
