"Sudden, silent death"


Oh, you don't mean what I wish it meant?

Rebekah or Rebecca is a feminine given name originating from the Hebrew רִבְקָה (Rivkah). The name comes from the verb רבק (rbq), meaning "to tie firmly"; Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names and the NOBS Study Bible Name List suggest the name means "snare", "noose", "tied up", "secured", and even "beautifully ensnaring".[1] W.F. Albright held that it meant "star".[2]
