Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:There is no direct Greek equivalent for Debir in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context.

Usage:Debir is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a Canaanite city conquered by Joshua and the Israelites. It is also known as Kirjath-sepher, meaning "City of Books" or "City of Writing," and Kirjath-sannah. The name Debir may imply a place of communication or oracle, possibly indicating its historical or cultural significance as a center of learning or religious activity.

Cultural and Historical Background:Debir was a significant Canaanite city located in the hill country of Judah. It was one of the cities conquered during Joshua's southern campaign as the Israelites took possession of the Promised Land. The city is mentioned in the context of the allotment of land to the tribe of Judah. Its alternate name, Kirjath-sepher, suggests it may have been a center for scribal activity or housed important records or writings, reflecting the broader Canaanite culture's engagement with literacy and record-keeping.
