Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Rephidim, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a geographical location in the Old Testament. Usage: Rephidim is used in the context of the Israelites' journey through the wilderness. It is mentioned in the narrative of their travels and the challenges they faced, including the miraculous provision of water from the rock and the battle against the Amalekites. Context: Rephidim is a significant location in the biblical narrative of the Exodus. It is mentioned in Exodus 17:1-16 and Numbers 33:14-15. At Rephidim, the Israelites quarreled with Moses due to the lack of water, leading to the miraculous event where God instructed Moses to strike the rock at Horeb, resulting in water flowing out for the people to drink (Exodus 17:6). This place was subsequently named Massah and Meribah because of the Israelites' testing and quarreling. Additionally, Rephidim is the site of the battle between the Israelites and the Amalekites, where Joshua led the Israelite forces to victory while Moses, supported by Aaron and Hur, held up his hands to ensure the success of the battle (Exodus 17:8-13). The events at Rephidim highlight themes of divine provision, leadership, and the importance of faith and obedience.
