Strong's Lexicon Ramoth: Ramoth Original Word: רָאמוֹת Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root רוּם (rum), meaning "to be high" or "exalted." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Ramoth" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew geography and culture. Usage: The term "Ramoth" refers to a city or location that is elevated or exalted. In the biblical context, it is often associated with "Ramoth-Gilead," a significant city of refuge and a Levitical city in the territory of Gad, east of the Jordan River. Cultural and Historical Background: Ramoth-Gilead was a strategically important city in ancient Israel, located in the region of Gilead. It served as one of the cities of refuge, where individuals who committed unintentional manslaughter could seek asylum. The city was also a site of military significance, frequently mentioned in the context of battles between Israel and Aram (Syria). Its elevated position made it a fortified location, contributing to its strategic importance. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom rum Definition "heights," the name of several cities in Isr.
