Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root רָכַב (rakab), which means "to ride" or "to mount."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term in the Septuagint and New Testament for רֶכֶב is ἅρμα (G2462), which also means "chariot." This term is used in Acts 8:28, where the Ethiopian eunuch is reading Isaiah while riding in his chariot: "and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the book of Isaiah the prophet." Usage: The word רֶכֶב is used in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Bible, often referring to chariots or groups of chariots, as well as the riders or cavalry associated with them. It can also refer to the upper millstone, which is part of a pair used for grinding grain. Context: רֶכֶב (rekeb) appears in numerous passages within the Hebrew Scriptures, illustrating its diverse applications. In military contexts, it frequently describes chariots and their riders, as seen in Exodus 14:7, where Pharaoh's chariots pursue the Israelites: "He took six hundred of the best chariots, along with all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers over all of them." This highlights the strategic importance of chariots in ancient warfare.
