rabbi רבּי
(pl. rabanim)
The term Rabbi (רבּי, alt. Rab; Modern
Hebrew: רַב, often abbreviated as R') derives from Hebrew,
meaning “teacher.” It is a title of respect granted to Jewish
educators, congregational leaders, and scholars. In Yiddish,
“rebbe” conveys the same meaning, though in contemporary
rabbinical Judaism, it is reserved for particularly influential
rabbis.
In modern Messianic Judaism, the title varies based on
ethnicity: ethnically Jewish congregational leaders
are often called “Rabbi,” while those who are not are more
commonly referred to as “Messianic Pastor” or simply “Pastor.”
Nevertheless, it is not uncommon for any Torah teacher,
regardless of ethnicity, to be addressed as “Rabbi.” Within
rabbinical Judaism, the term also denotes individuals qualified
to make decisions on halakhah (Jewish law).
For example, Rabbi Sha’ul of Tarsus, due to his
exceptional influence, is often referred to as “Rebbe Sha’ul.”

Rahab
(alt. Rachav) woman, wife, female
The word “Rahab” also means a
wall or broad place. This is where we get the term “broad” for a
woman … False messianic kingdom
A woman of Jericho who aided the spies
to escape; saved from the destruction of Jericho; married Salmon, an
ancestor of King David and of the Messiah; commended for her faith
in the book of James. She is often referred to as a “harlot,” but
the word
'ishshah used to describe her in the book of Joshua is used
a total of 674 time in the Hebrew Bible. Of all those times, the New
American Standard translates it “harlot” or “adultress” only twice
each. The most common translations are wife or wives (374 times),
and
woman or women (307 times). It is the same
word used to describe Eve and Sarah (and most other wives in the
Bible), and nobody refers to them as harlots. I think Rahab has been
given a bum rap!
