The mention of Beth-rapha, which means "house of healing" or "house of the giant," suggests a place or lineage of significance, possibly indicating a family known for strength or healing. This reflects the importance of names and their meanings in Hebrew culture, often signifying the character or destiny of a person or place.<p><b>of Paseah</b><br>Paseah, meaning "limping" or "lame," is another name that appears in the genealogies, possibly indicating a physical characteristic or a metaphorical description of the family line. The name Paseah also appears in <a href="/ezra/2-49.htm">Ezra 2:49</a> and <a href="/nehemiah/7-51.htm">Nehemiah 7:51</a>, associated with the descendants who returned from the Babylonian exile, suggesting a continuity of this family line through Israel's history.<p><b>and of Tehinnah the father of Ir-nahash</b><br>Tehinnah, meaning "grace" or "favor," is noted as the father of Ir-nahash, which translates to "city of the serpent." This name could imply a location known for its serpentine features or a place associated with danger or wisdom, as serpents often symbolize in biblical literature. The mention of a "city of the serpent" might also evoke imagery of spiritual warfare or the presence of evil, contrasting with the grace implied in Tehinnah's name.<p><b>These were the men of Recah</b><br>Recah is not a well-documented location in biblical texts, but its mention here suggests a group or clan of significance. The genealogical records in Chronicles often highlight the importance of familial and tribal connections, underscoring the unity and identity of the Israelite people. The men of Recah, therefore, represent a distinct lineage within the broader narrative of Israel's history, contributing to the tapestry of God's chosen people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/eshton.htm">Eshton</a></b><br>A descendant of Judah, Eshton is noted as the father of Beth-rapha, Paseah, and Tehinnah.
