Context: רֻטֲפַשׁ (rutafash) is a Hebrew term that encapsulates the idea of rejuvenation or renewal. Although it is not a common word in the biblical text, its conceptual significance is profound, often associated with spiritual renewal or the restoration of life and vitality. The notion of rejuvenation is a recurring theme in the Scriptures, where God is depicted as the source of life and renewal. This theme is evident in various passages that speak of God's ability to restore and renew His people, both physically and spiritually. The concept of rejuvenation is also linked to the idea of hope and future restoration, as seen in prophetic literature where the renewal of Israel is promised. The use of רֻטֲפַשׁ, though rare, aligns with these broader biblical themes of renewal and divine restoration.
