<p> <strong> | <p> <strong> REPHAN </strong> (AV [Note: Authorized Version.] <strong> [[Remphan]] </strong> ). A word which replaces <strong> Chiun </strong> of the Hebrew text of Amos 5:26 , both in the LXX [Note: Septuagint.] and in the quotation in Acts 7:48 . The generally accepted explanation of this word is that <em> [[Rephan]] </em> (the preferable form) is a corruption and transliteration of <em> Kewan </em> ( <em> Kaiwan, Kaawan </em> see Chiun) <em> r </em> having somehow mistakenly replaced <em> k </em> , and <em> w </em> (the Hebrew <em> wau </em> or <em> vav </em> ) having been transliterated <em> ph </em> (the Gr. <em> phi </em> ). </p> <p> W. M. Nesbit. </p> | ||
