Strong's Lexicon Rekab: Rekab Original Word: רֵכָב Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root רָכַב (rakav), meaning "to ride" or "to mount." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Rekab, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew context. However, the concept of obedience and faithfulness can be linked to Greek terms like ὑπακοή (hypakoē - obedience) and πιστός (pistos - faithful). Usage: Rekab is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to several individuals. The most notable Rekab is the father of Jehonadab (or Jonadab), who was the founder of the Rechabites, a nomadic group known for their strict adherence to their ancestor's command to live a simple, abstinent lifestyle. Cultural and Historical Background: The Rechabites were a clan in Israel during the time of the kings. They are particularly noted for their loyalty to the commands of their ancestor Jehonadab, who instructed them to live in tents, abstain from wine, and avoid settling in cities. This lifestyle was a protest against the Canaanite influence and the urbanization that was seen as leading to moral decay. The Rechabites are highlighted in the Bible as an example of faithfulness and obedience to ancestral commands.
