Strong's Lexicon Rephach: Refreshment, relief Original Word: רֶפַח Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to widen or spread out Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "Rephach," the concept of refreshment can be related to Greek terms such as ἀνάψυξις (anapsyxis - Strong's Greek 403), meaning "refreshing" or "revival," as seen in Acts 3:19, "so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord." Usage: The term "Rephach" is used to denote a sense of relief or refreshment, often in a physical or emotional context. It implies a state of being eased from distress or discomfort, providing a sense of renewal or rest. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of refreshment was significant, especially in the context of a nomadic lifestyle where physical exertion and harsh environmental conditions were common. Refreshment was not only a physical necessity but also a spiritual metaphor for divine provision and rest. The Israelites often experienced God's refreshment during their wilderness journeys, symbolizing His care and sustenance.
