רְפָאִים

Genesis 14:5 רְפָאִים֙ [the] Rephaites

In the fourteenth year, Chedorlaomer and the kings allied with him went out and defeated the Rephaites in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shaveh-kiriathaim,

Here: The first population defeated, in Bashan, in the far north of Transjordan. The other groups in the verse have 'the', but this one does not. Elsewhere the Bible remembers the Rephaim as an ancient, imposing people of the land (Deut 2:11; 3:11). The same word also means the shades of the dead (Isa 14:9).

Genesis 15:20 הָרְפָאִֽים׃ the Rephaites

Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites,

Deuteronomy 2:11 רְפָאִ֛ים Rephaites

Like the Anakites, they were also regarded as Rephaim, though the Moabites called them Emites.

Deuteronomy 2:20 רְפָאִ֥ים רְפָאִ֤ים [the] Rephaites

(That too was regarded as the land of the Rephaim, who used to live there, though the Ammonites called them Zamzummites.

Deuteronomy 3:11 הָרְפָאִים֒ the Rephaites

(For only Og king of Bashan had remained of the remnant of the Rephaim. His bed of iron, nine cubits long and four cubits wide, is still in Rabbah of the Ammonites.)

Here: The name of an ancient population that Deuteronomy describes as 'great, many and tall like the Anakim' (2:10–11, 20–21). Elsewhere the same word names the shades of the dead, and that association hangs over Og.

Deuteronomy 3:13 רְפָאִֽים׃ [the] Rephaites

To the half-tribe of Manasseh I gave the rest of Gilead and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og. (The entire region of Argob, the whole territory of Bashan, used to be called the land of the Rephaim.)

Joshua 12:4 הָרְפָאִ֑ים the Rephaites

And Og king of Bashan, one of the remnant of the Rephaim, who lived in Ashtaroth and Edrei.

Joshua 13:12 הָרְפָאִ֔ים the Rephaites

the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan, who had reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei and had remained as a remnant of the Rephaim. Moses had struck them down and dispossessed them,

Here: The name of an ancient people of the land, remembered as tall and formidable (Deut 2:10–11, 20–21; 3:11). In poetry the same word names the shades of the dead. It is a proper name, not an ordinary word for 'giants'.

Joshua 15:8 רְפָאִ֖ים [the] Rephaites

From there the border went up the Valley of Ben-hinnom along the southern slope of the Jebusites (that is, Jerusalem) and ascended to the top of the hill that faces the Valley of Hinnom on the west, at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim.

Here: A name of uncertain origin. Elsewhere in the Bible it refers to a remembered ancient people famous for great size (Deuteronomy 2:11, 20; 3:11) and, in poetry, to the shades of the dead. Here it is simply the name of a well-known valley.

Joshua 17:15 וְהָֽרְפָאִ֑ים and the Rephaites

Joshua answered them, “If you have so many people that the hill country of Ephraim is too small for you, go to the forest and clear for yourself an area in the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim.”

Here: The Rephaim, a legendary early population remembered as tall and formidable (Deut 2:11, 20; 3:11). Naming them makes the forest sound intimidating as well as overgrown.

Joshua 18:16 רְפָאִ֖ים [the] Rephaites

Then it went down to the foot of the hill that faces the Valley of Ben-hinnom at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim and ran down the Valley of Hinnom toward the southern slope of the Jebusites and downward to En-rogel.

Here: Name of the plain southwest of Jerusalem (modern el-Baqaʿ). It recalls the Rephaim, remembered as an ancient race of tall people (Deut 2:11, 20). KJV renders it "giants".

2 Samuel 5:18 רְפָאִֽים׃ Rephaim

Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.

2 Samuel 5:22 רְפָאִֽים׃ Rephaim

Once again the Philistines came up and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.

Here: The Valley of Rephaim, just southwest of Jerusalem, on the border between Judah and Benjamin. The name recalls the Rephaim, the legendary tall people who lived in the land before Israel. It is also a word for the dead.

2 Samuel 21:16 הָרָפָ֗ה the Raphah

Then Ishbi-benob, a descendant of Rapha, whose bronze spear weighed three hundred shekels and who was bearing a new sword, resolved to kill David.

2 Samuel 21:18 הָרָפָֽה׃ פ the Raphah

Some time later at Gob, there was another battle with the Philistines. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, a descendant of Rapha.

2 Samuel 21:20 לְהָרָפָֽה׃ to the Raphah

And there was also a battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He too was descended from Rapha,

So these four descendants of Rapha in Gath fell at the hands of David and his servants.

At harvest time, three of the thirty chief men went down to David at the cave of Adullam, while a company of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.

1 Chronicles 11:15 רְפָאִֽים׃ [the] Rephaites

Three of the thirty chief men went down to David, to the rock at the cave of Adullam, while a company of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.

1 Chronicles 20:6 לְהָרָפָֽא׃ to <the> Rapha

And there was also a battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He too was descended from Rapha,

1 Chronicles 20:8 לְהָרָפָ֖א to <the> Rapha

So these descendants of Rapha in Gath fell at the hands of David and his servants.

Isaiah 17:5 רְפָאִֽים׃ Rephaim

as the reaper gathers the standing grain and harvests the ears with his arm, as one gleans heads of grain in the Valley of Rephaim.
