The Key Word — רְפָאִים, re.fa.'Imgenerated
The term רְפָאִים (refa'im) refers to a group of giants, specifically associated with the Rephaim, an ancient race mentioned in the Old Testament. The word is a masculine plural noun derived from רָפָה (rapha'), which means 'to heal' or 'to revive', but in this context, it primarily denotes giants.
The Rephaim were notable for their size and strength, and their mention alongside the Anakites emphasizes their formidable nature. The parsing indicates that this is a noun in the plural form, which aligns with the idea of a group or race rather than an individual.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb יֵחָשְׁב֥וּ (they were regarded) governs the sentence, with two noun phrases acting as subjects: רְפָאִ֛ים (Rephaim) and כָּעֲנָקִ֑ים (like the Anakites). The structure emphasizes the comparison between these groups.
The conjunction אַף־ (also) connects the two clauses, indicating that the Rephaim share a similar status to the Anakites, while the Moabites' reference to them as אֵמִֽים (Emites) adds a layer of cultural interpretation.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates רְפָאִים as ραφαϊν, maintaining the connection to giants. This choice reflects a consistent understanding of the term across both Hebrew and Greek traditions.
The word אֵמִים is rendered in the Septuagint as ομμιν, which indicates a direct correspondence to the Hebrew term, preserving the identity of this group.
