Who this is
Remphan is not a person but a pagan star god, likely an alternate name for Saturn or the deity elsewhere called Chiun, whom Stephen accused Israel of worshipping in the wilderness (Acts 7:43, quoting Amos 5:26). Stephen's speech follows the Greek Septuagint's rendering "Rephan" for the Hebrew "Kiyyun" in Amos.
