Usage: The term רְוָחָה is used in the context of providing relief or deliverance, often from a state of distress or oppression. It appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe moments when God provides respite or liberation to His people. Context: רְוָחָה (revachah) is a noun that appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote a sense of relief or deliverance. It is often used in contexts where there is a transition from a state of distress to one of ease or freedom. The term is closely associated with divine intervention, where God provides relief to His people from their adversaries or difficult circumstances. This concept is illustrated in the book of Esther, where Mordecai speaks of potential relief and deliverance arising for the Jews from another place if Esther remains silent (Esther 4:14, BSB: "For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's house will perish."). The use of רְוָחָה underscores the belief in God's providential care and His ability to bring about salvation and respite in times of need.
