Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
"The palm of Deborah"  (Judges 4:5).  "This may be a confused memory of another Deborah, the nurse of Rebekah, who was buried under an oak in the same district of Ephraim at Bethel  (Genesis 35:8),"[12] No, the sacred author of Judges, whom we believe to have been Samuel, was not the man with the "confused memory"; it was the author of the Layman's Bible Commentary comment just cited!  The tree under which that first Deborah was buried was an oak, and the tree under which this Deborah prophesied was a palm.  Both the utility and the species of the trees were different.  There is no confusion whatever regarding these in the text!
