Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בַּיִת (bayith, H1004) meaning "house" and רָפָא (rapha, H7495) meaning "healer" or "physician."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Beth-Rapha in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek counterpart. However, the concept of "house" can be related to the Greek word οἶκος (oikos, G3624), and "healer" can be related to ἰατρός (iatros, G2395). Usage: Beth-Rapha is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically as a place name. Context: Beth-Rapha is mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah. It appears in 1 Chronicles 4:12, where it is listed among the descendants of Judah. The passage reads: "Eshton was the father of Beth-Rapha, Paseah, and Tehinnah the father of Ir-Nahash. These were the men of Recah." (BSB) The name suggests a location or settlement associated with healing or a healer, possibly indicating a place known for its medical practices or a family lineage associated with healing. The exact historical and geographical details of Beth-Rapha remain uncertain, as it is not widely referenced outside of this genealogical context.
