Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Rechob in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew texts. However, the concept of "broad" or "wide" can be related to Greek words like πλατύς (platys), meaning "broad" or "wide."
Usage: Rechob is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to several locations and individuals. The name itself suggests a place or person associated with breadth or spaciousness.
Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of geographical features or characteristics of a person. The name Rechob, meaning "broad" or "wide," could imply a broad or expansive area, which is fitting for a city or region. Cities named Rechob were likely significant in their respective regions, possibly serving as trade or military centers due to their strategic locations.
