Usage: Rephidim is a geographical location mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the context of the Israelites' journey through the wilderness after their exodus from Egypt. It is noted as a place where the Israelites camped and experienced significant events, including a lack of water and a battle.

Cultural and Historical Background: Rephidim is traditionally identified as a station in the wilderness journey of the Israelites. It is significant for its association with two major events: the miraculous provision of water from the rock and the battle against the Amalekites. The location is often considered to be in the Sinai Peninsula, although its exact historical location remains uncertain. The events at Rephidim highlight themes of divine provision and protection, as well as the challenges faced by the Israelites during their desert wanderings.
