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 subjugation or contempt.

To trample upon something symbolized power and control over it. This imagery is prevalent in biblical texts, where trampling can signify God's judgment or the subjugation of enemies.
