Strong's Lexicon revachah: Relief, respite, deliverance, enlargement Original Word: רְוָחָה Word Origin: Derived from the root רוּחַ (ruach), which means "to breathe freely" or "to be spacious." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 3080 (λύτρωσις, lytrōsis) - meaning redemption or deliverance. - Strong's Greek 3647 (ἀνάπαυσις, anapausis) - meaning rest or relief. Usage: The Hebrew word "revachah" primarily conveys the idea of relief or respite, often in the context of deliverance from distress or danger. It suggests a sense of spaciousness or breathing room, indicating a transition from a state of oppression or confinement to one of freedom and ease. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of "revachah" would have been significant in both physical and spiritual contexts. Physically, it could refer to relief from enemies or famine, while spiritually, it might denote deliverance from sin or divine judgment. The idea of God providing "revachah" would resonate deeply with a people who experienced cycles of oppression and deliverance throughout their history.
