Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents in the Strong's Concordance that correspond to the specific Hebrew term רְפִידָה. However, Greek terms related to support or structure, such as στηριγμός (stērigmos • support, firmness) or κλίνη (klinē • bed, couch), may conceptually align with the idea of a railing or support structure.

Usage: The term רְפִידָה is used in the context of describing a physical support or structure, such as a railing or a spread, particularly in relation to furniture.

Context: רְפִידָה (rephidah) appears in the Hebrew Bible as a term that denotes a structural support, often associated with furniture. The root רָפַד (raphad) suggests the action of spreading or laying out, which aligns with the concept of a support or railing that provides stability or structure. In the context of ancient Hebrew culture, such supports would have been integral to the construction of beds or couches, providing both functional and aesthetic value. The term is indicative of the practical aspects of daily life in biblical times, reflecting the craftsmanship and attention to detail in household items.
