The term "Rapha" can also imply healing, but in this context, it is more commonly associated with the Rephaim, a race of giants mentioned in the Old Testament.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, names of places often carried significant meanings related to the people or events associated with them. The Rephaim were considered a formidable group, and their mention in the Bible often highlights the challenges faced by the Israelites in conquering the Promised Land. The term "Beth Rapha" would thus evoke images of strength and the supernatural, reflecting the cultural understanding of giants in biblical times.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1004.htm">bayith</a> and <a href="/hebrew/7497.htm">Rapha</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an Isr. name<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Beth-rapha (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">בֵּית רָפָא</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font>?
