Deborah in Genesis 35
DEB-er-uh
This person shows up in Genesis 35:8: “Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; and its name was called Allon Bacuth.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real person in a real place.
Genesis 35:8
“Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; and its name was called Allon Bacuth.”
