Strong's Lexicon rephidah: Support, Resting Place, Bed Original Word: רְפִידָה Word Origin: Derived from the root רָפַד (raphad), meaning "to spread" or "to support." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent that captures the essence of "rephidah" in terms of rest and support is Strong's Greek 373, "anapausis," meaning rest or cessation. Usage: The term "rephidah" is used to denote a place of support or rest, often implying a physical or metaphorical foundation that provides comfort or stability. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it can refer to a literal bed or resting place, symbolizing a place of repose and security. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the concept of rest and support was significant, both physically and spiritually. Beds or resting places were not only for physical rest but also symbolized peace and divine provision. The Israelites, during their wilderness journey, often sought places of rest as they traveled from one location to another, highlighting the importance of divine support and sustenance.
