3810. Lo Debar
Berean Strong's Lexicon
Lo Debar: Lo Debar

Original Word: לֹא דְבָר
Part of Speech: Proper Name Location
Transliteration: Lo Debar
Pronunciation: lo-deh-BAHR
Phonetic Spelling: (lo deb-ar')
Definition: Lo Debar
Meaning: Lo-Debar

Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: לֹא (lo) meaning "no" or "not" and דָּבָר (dabar) meaning "word" or "thing."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Lo Debar, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of desolation or insignificance might be related to Greek terms like ἔρημος (erēmos), meaning "desolate" or "wilderness."

Usage: Lo Debar is a place name in the Hebrew Bible, often interpreted to mean "no pasture" or "nothing" due to its etymological components. It is used to describe a location that is seemingly insignificant or barren.

Cultural and Historical Background: Lo Debar was a town located in the region of Gilead, east of the Jordan River. In biblical times, it was considered a remote and desolate place, which is reflected in its name. Despite its apparent insignificance, Lo Debar plays a role in the narrative of King David's kindness to Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan and grandson of Saul.
