: Other spellings found in manuscripts are Repha, Rempha, and Rephphan. The Greek Old Testament spells the name Raiphan. All of these are variations of the Egyptian name Repa for the god Saturn. It is possible that the reading Raiphan came from an attempt to make the quote read more like the passage in Amos 5:26. It is also possible that the spellings with "e" were corrections by copyists toward the more classical spelling of the name.
