However, the concept of genealogies and land inheritance can be related to Greek terms like γῆ (gē, meaning "land" or "earth") and γενεά (genea, meaning "generation" or "lineage").<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Rekah is a place name mentioned in the genealogies of the descendants of Judah. It is identified as a town or settlement, though its exact location is not definitively known today. The name may imply a place that is expansive or spread out, possibly referring to its geographical features or the extent of its territory.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of ancient Israel, place names often held significant meaning, reflecting geographical characteristics, historical events, or the heritage of the people who lived there. Rekah, as part of the genealogical records, underscores the importance of land and lineage in Israelite society. These records were crucial for maintaining tribal identities and inheritance rights.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">רֵכָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>in Judah</b></font>;
