Rephan

VIEW:30 DATA:01-04-2020

REPHAN (AV [Note: Authorized Version.] Remphan).—A word which replaces Chiun of the Hebrew text of Amo_5:26, both in the LXX [Note: Septuagint.] and in the quotation in Act_7:48. The generally accepted explanation of this word is that Rephan (the preferable form) is a corruption and transliteration of Kewan (Kaiwan, Kaawan—see Chiun)—r having somehow mistakenly replaced k, and w (the Hebrew wau or vav) having been transliterated ph (the Gr. phi).
