Strong's Lexicon ramoth: Ramoth Original Word: רָאמָה Word Origin: Derived from the root רוּם (rum), meaning "to be high" or "exalted." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "Ramoth," the concept of cities of refuge is echoed in the New Testament with the idea of spiritual refuge in Christ (e.g., Hebrews 6:18). Usage: The term "Ramoth" refers to several locations in the Hebrew Bible, most notably Ramoth-Gilead, a city of refuge and a Levitical city in the territory of Gad. It is often associated with high places or elevated locations, consistent with its root meaning. Cultural and Historical Background: Ramoth-Gilead was a significant city in ancient Israel, located east of the Jordan River in the region of Gilead. It served as a city of refuge, where individuals accused of manslaughter could seek asylum until their case was heard (Deuteronomy 4:43). The city was also a strategic military site, frequently contested between Israel and Aram (Syria). Its elevated position made it a valuable defensive location.
