Strong's Lexicon Riphath or Diphath: Riphath or Diphath Original Word: רִיפַת Word Origin: The name Riphath is of uncertain origin, possibly derived from a root meaning "to crush" or "to heal." The variant Diphath appears in some manuscripts and translations, likely due to a scribal error or dialectal variation. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Riphath or Diphath in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as these are specific Hebrew names found in the Old Testament genealogies. Usage: Riphath is a name found in the genealogies of the Bible, specifically as a descendant of Japheth, one of Noah's sons. It is used to denote a person or a group of people, possibly a tribe or nation, associated with the descendants of Japheth. Cultural and Historical Background: Riphath is mentioned in the Table of Nations in Genesis 10, which outlines the descendants of Noah's sons and the nations that emerged from them after the flood. The Table of Nations is significant for understanding the ancient world's ethnic and geographical divisions. Riphath is traditionally associated with the peoples of the ancient region of Anatolia or the area around the Black Sea, possibly linked to the Riphean Mountains mentioned in classical sources.
