Rebekah
Ribqâh is a personal name referring to the wife of Isaac and the mother of Esau and Jacob. The name functions as a proper noun designating this key matriarch in the ancestral narratives of the Hebrew Bible. The semantic sense of the name itself in Hebrew is unclear; it does not directly correlate with common lexical roots or ordinary vocabulary, and is used exclusively as a personal name.
