Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root רָאָה (ra'ah), meaning "to see" or "to look."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Reajah, as it is a Hebrew proper noun specific to the Old Testament genealogies. However, the concept of being "seen by God" can be related to Greek terms that convey divine observation or knowledge, such as ἐπιγινώσκω (epiginosko, Strong's Greek 1921), meaning "to know fully" or "to recognize."

Usage: Reajah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Reajah is mentioned in the genealogical records of the post-exilic community in the Book of 1 Chronicles. Specifically, Reajah is listed as a descendant of Shobal, who was a son of Judah. This places Reajah within the lineage of the tribe of Judah, which is significant given the tribe's prominence in Israel's history and its association with King David and the Messianic line. The mention of Reajah in the genealogies underscores the importance of family lineage and heritage in the post-exilic period, as the Israelites sought to re-establish their identity and community after returning from Babylonian captivity. The name itself, meaning "seen by Yahweh," reflects a theological perspective that emphasizes God's watchful presence and involvement in the lives of His people.
