Strong's Lexicon Ritspah: Rizpah Original Word: רִצְפָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root רָצַף (ratsaph), meaning "to pave" or "to lay stones." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the proper name Rizpah in the Septuagint or the New Testament. However, the themes of mourning and maternal devotion can be related to Greek terms such as πενθέω (pentheō, G3996) meaning "to mourn." Usage: Ritspah, or Rizpah, is a proper name in the Hebrew Bible, referring to a concubine of King Saul. Her name is associated with a significant narrative in the books of Samuel, where she is depicted as a devoted mother and a figure of mourning and protection. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, concubines held a recognized but secondary status to wives. Rizpah's account is set during the time of King David, a period marked by political consolidation and the establishment of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Her actions reflect the cultural importance of family honor and the maternal role in protecting and mourning for one's offspring.
