Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Riphath, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context.

Usage: The name Riphath appears in the genealogical records of the Bible, specifically in the Table of Nations, which outlines the descendants of Noah's sons after the flood.

Context: Riphath is mentioned in the genealogical list found in Genesis 10:3, which is part of the Table of Nations. This table is a significant biblical record that traces the lineage and dispersion of the descendants of Noah's sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Riphath is listed as one of the sons of Gomer, who is a son of Japheth. The descendants of Japheth are traditionally associated with the peoples of Europe and parts of Asia. The name Riphath is thought to be connected to the ancient peoples or regions in the vicinity of the Black Sea, possibly linked to the Riphean Mountains mentioned in classical sources. However, the exact identification of Riphath with a specific historical or geographical entity remains uncertain. The mention of Riphath in the Bible underscores the broader theme of the spread of humanity and the diversity of nations that emerged after the flood.
