Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew proper noun רִסָּה (Rissah), as it is a specific location name unique to the Hebrew text of the Old Testament.

Usage: Rissah is used as a proper noun referring to a specific location mentioned in the wilderness journey of the Israelites.

Context: Rissah is identified as one of the stations or encampments of the Israelites during their 40-year journey through the wilderness, as recorded in the Book of Numbers. It is mentioned in the context of the Israelites' travels after their exodus from Egypt. The name Rissah, meaning "dew" or "moisture," may suggest a place characterized by its moist environment or perhaps a location where dew was prevalent, providing a source of refreshment for the Israelites. The specific geographical location of Rissah is not definitively known today, and it is not mentioned outside the context of the wilderness journey. The mention of Rissah is found in Numbers 33:21-22: "They set out from Libnah and camped at Rissah. They set out from Rissah and camped at Kehelathah."
