REPHAN
Pagan deity mentioned by Stephen in Acts 7:43 (KJB “Remphan”; nasb “Rompha”) when he cited the text of Amos 5:26 (NLT “Kaiwan,” see mg) to portray the paganism of the wandering Israelites. Stephen was quoting from the Septuagint, whose translators had taken kaiwan to refer to the Assyrian god of Saturn, or perhaps to the Egyptian Saturn god Repa. Some scholars argue that Amos 5:26 is a general reference to the Israelites’ wilderness paganism and names no ancient deities at all.
