Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the Hebrew proper noun רְחֹבוֹת (Rechoboth) in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as it is a specific place name without a direct translation into Greek. However, the concept of "broad places" or "spaciousness" can be related to Greek words like πλατύς (platys), meaning "broad" or "wide," though this is not a direct lexical correspondence. Usage: Rechoboth is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to specific locations. It appears in the context of naming wells and cities. Context: • Rechoboth-I: This is the name of a well dug by Isaac's servants in the region of Gerar. After disputes over other wells, Isaac's servants dug this well, and there was no contention over it. Isaac named it Rechoboth, saying, "Now the LORD has given us room, and we will be fruitful in the land" (Genesis 26:22, BSB). This name signifies the idea of God providing space and opportunity for growth and prosperity. • Rechoboth-II: A city mentioned in Genesis 10:11, associated with Asshur, who went out from the land of Shinar and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, and Resen. The exact location of this city is uncertain, but it is considered part of the early Mesopotamian civilization. • Rechoboth-III: A city located by the river, mentioned in 1 Chronicles 1:48. It is listed among the cities of the Edomites, indicating its geographical and cultural significance in the region.
