It appears 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 Rechah." . This brief mention situates Rechah within the broader context of the descendants of Judah, highlighting its connection to the lineage and heritage of one of the prominent tribes of Israel.<br><br>The passage in <a href="/bsb/1_chronicles/4.htm">1 Chronicles 4</a> is part of a larger genealogical listing that serves to establish the historical and familial roots of the tribes of Israel. The genealogies in Chronicles are significant for their role in affirming the identity and continuity of the Israelite people, particularly after the Babylonian exile. They emphasize the importance of lineage and heritage in maintaining the covenant relationship with God.<br><br>Rechah, while not extensively detailed in the biblical text, is understood to be a settlement or region associated with the descendants of Judah. The mention of "the men of Rechah" suggests a community or group of people who were recognized for their connection to this location. The genealogical context implies that Rechah was part of the territorial inheritance of the tribe of Judah, which was allotted to them as part of the Promised Land.<br><br>The name Rechah itself is not elaborated upon in terms of its etymology or specific historical significance within the biblical narrative. However, its inclusion in the genealogical record underscores the comprehensive nature of the chronicler's account, which seeks to document the full scope of Judah's descendants and their settlements.<br><br>In the broader biblical narrative, the tribe of Judah holds a place of prominence, being the tribe from which King David and, ultimately, Jesus Christ descended. The genealogies in Chronicles, including the mention of Rechah, contribute to the understanding of Judah's role in God's redemptive plan for Israel and the world.<br><br>While Rechah does not feature prominently in biblical events or accounts, its mention serves as a reminder of the detailed and interconnected nature of the biblical genealogies, which reflect the faithfulness of God in preserving His people and fulfilling His promises through their lineage.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Rechah</span><p>(<i>uttermost part</i>), probably a place in Judah--a village, <i>Rashiah</i> , three miles south of Jerusalem.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">RECHAH</span><p>re'-ka (rekhah).<br><br>See <a href="../r/recah.htm">RECAH</a>.<p><a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/7397.htm"><span class="l">7397.
