Strong's Lexicon raphas: To trample, to tread upon Original Word: רָפַס Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3961 (pateo) - to tread, to trample - G2662 (katapateo) - to trample down, to treat with rudeness and insult Usage: The Hebrew verb "raphas" primarily means to trample or tread upon. It conveys the action of stepping on something with force, often implying a sense of dominance or disregard. This term is used in contexts where physical trampling is described, as well as metaphorically to indicate oppression or contempt. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the act of trampling was often associated with conquest and subjugation. To trample upon something symbolized victory over it, as victors would often tread upon the symbols or bodies of their enemies. This imagery is prevalent in biblical texts to convey God's judgment or the defeat of foes.
