Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Rebekah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, but she is mentioned in the New Testament in Romans 9:10 as Ρεβέκκα (Rebekka). Usage: Rebekah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is most commonly associated with the wife of Isaac and the mother of Esau and Jacob. The name Rebekah can imply "to tie" or "to bind," which may reflect her role in the continuation of the Abrahamic lineage. Cultural and Historical Background: Rebekah is a significant matriarch in the Hebrew Bible, known for her beauty, hospitality, and decisive actions. She is introduced in Genesis as the daughter of Bethuel and the sister of Laban. Her account is set in the patriarchal period, a time when family lineage and marriage alliances were crucial for the survival and prosperity of a clan. Rebekah's marriage to Isaac was arranged by Abraham's servant, who was guided by God to find a suitable wife for Isaac from Abraham's kin. Her account highlights themes of divine providence, family dynamics, and the fulfillment of God's promises.
