The Miraculous Story of Tabbitha, the Woman Raised from the Dead

Tabbitha (Greek: Ταβιθά, meaning "gazelle" or "doe") is a name mentioned in the New Testament of the Bible. It is the Greek form of the Hebrew name "Tabitha", which means "gazelle" or "doe". The name is derived from the Hebrew word "tav" meaning "goat" and "itha" meaning "gazelle".

In the New Testament, Tabbitha is the name of a woman who was a disciple of Paul and lived in the city of Lydda. She was known for her generosity and kindness, and was particularly devoted to helping the poor. According to Acts 9:36-43, Tabbitha became sick and died, but was raised from the dead by Peter, who had been sent for by her friends. After her resurrection, she continued to live in Lydda and was revered as a saint by the local Christians.

The story of Tabbitha is significant in Christian tradition because it is one of the earliest recorded instances of a person being raised from the dead after their death. It is also seen as an example of the power of faith and the miracles that can be performed through prayer and the laying on of hands.
