can anyone translate rebecca in to hebrew for me for a tattoo?

Answer 1

רבקה
Or with vowel marks:
רִבְקָה

Answer 2

If you have Microsoft Word or Works, you can use the font SLHebrew, type the letters hqbr, and it will come out as Rebekah. To confirm this for yourself, go to this website, and perform a search of Rebekah, after that, download under "Get The Fonts" and unzip that. You will then be able to confirm what I told you.

Unfortunately, I cannot upload the Hebrew fonts on Yahoo Answers, or I would've shown you here.

I hope that helps. As far as tattoo parlor knowing the Hebrew for Rebekah, I wouldn't trust them to know that unless they were Jewish. Many folks have gone to tattoo parlors for Chinese characters, and ended up with something they never would've wanted on them.

UPDATE: Kudos to the two folks below my post who managed to get the Hebrew to work. I am curious how you managed to make it work...since when I did it, it came up as "hqbr."

Answer 3

It is pronounced Riv-kah. Spelled as רִבְקָה in Hebrew. Written from right to left, as Semetic languages are. It means "tie" or "bind." It could also mean a young calf. Make a nice pendant, forego the tattoo. That's a no-no for Jews.

Answer 4

I went to my word perfect in my computer, and used the hebrew font, but it wouldn't let me copy and paste in Hebrew. perhaps you could try that.

That idyllic narrative of the finding of a bride for Isaac is too familiar to need rehearsal and too simple to require comment. Besides, the substance both of that story and of the whole of Rebekah's career is treated in connection with the sketches of the other actors in the same scenes. Yet we note from the beginning the maiden's decision of character, which appears in every line of the narrative, and prepares the reader to find in subsequent chapters the positive, ambitious and energetic woman that she there shows herself.

REBEKAH

Her name is usually explained from the Arabic, rabqat, "a tie-rope for animals," or, rather, "a noose" in such a rope; its application would then by figure suggest the beauty (?) of her that bears it, by means of which men are snared or bound; The root is found in Hebrew only in the noun meaning "hitching-place" or "stall," in the familiar phrase "fatted calf" or "calf of the stall," and in view of the meaning of such names as Rachel and Eglah the name Rebekah might well mean (concrete for abstract, like riqmah, chemdah, etc.) a "tied-up calf" (or "lamb"?), one therefore peculiarly choice and fat.
