The reference to Recah is found in <a href="/1_chronicles/4-12.htm">1 Chronicles 4:12</a>, which states: "Eshton was the father of Beth-Rapha, Paseah, and Tehinnah the father of Ir-Nahash. These were the men of Recah." <br><br><b>Biblical Context</b><br><br>The mention of Recah occurs in a passage that details the lineage and settlements of the tribe of Judah. This tribe, one of the twelve tribes of Israel, holds significant importance in biblical history as it is the tribe from which King David and, ultimately, Jesus Christ descended. The genealogies in 1 Chronicles serve to establish the historical and familial connections among the people of Israel, emphasizing their heritage and God's covenantal promises.<br><br><b>Geographical and Historical Significance</b><br><br>While the exact location of Recah is not definitively known, it is understood to be a settlement or region associated with the descendants of Judah. The lack of additional biblical or archaeological references to Recah makes it challenging to pinpoint its precise location or historical significance. However, its inclusion in the genealogical records suggests it was a recognized place during the time the Chronicles were compiled.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The mention of Recah, though brief, contributes to the broader narrative of God's faithfulness to His people. The genealogies in 1 Chronicles highlight the continuity of God's promises through successive generations. Each name and place, including Recah, serves as a testament to the unfolding of God's redemptive plan through history. The chronicler's attention to detail underscores the importance of heritage and identity within the covenant community of Israel.<br><br><b>Cultural and Social Aspects</b><br><br>In the ancient Near Eastern context, genealogies were vital for establishing legal rights, inheritance, and social status. The reference to Recah within the genealogy of Judah reflects the cultural emphasis on lineage and the preservation of tribal and familial identities. Such records were crucial for maintaining the integrity and cohesion of the Israelite community, especially during periods of exile and restoration.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>Recah, though mentioned only once in the Bible, is part of the intricate tapestry of names and places that form the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah. Its inclusion in Scripture, while brief, serves as a reminder of the detailed and purposeful nature of God's Word, where every name and place holds significance in the grand narrative of redemption.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">RECAH</span><p>re'-ka (rekhah; Codex Vaticanus Rhechab; Codex Alexandrinus Rhepha; the King James Version Rechah): In <a href="/1_chronicles/4-12.htm">1 Chronicles 4:12</a> certain persons are described as "the men of Recah," but there is absolutely no information either about the place or its position.<p><a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/7397b.htm"><span class="l">7397b.
