Remphan

(Acts 7:43 KJV, NKJV)

also known as: Rephan, Rompha (Acts 7:43 NASB, LSB, AMP), Saturn, Moloch, Molech, Milcom, Malcham

This is the name of a false god mentioned by Stephen in Acts 7:43 KJV. The Revised King James Version spells it “Rephan” (Acts 7:43 RKJV)

In Amos 5:26 the Hebrew Chiun is rendered by the Septuagint “Rephan,” and this name is adopted by Luke in his narrative of the Acts.

These names represent the star-god Saturn or Moloch (aka Molech, Milcom, Malcham).
