Strong's Lexicon Aromim: Heights, High Places Original Word: אֲרוֹמִי Word Origin: Derived from the root word רוּם (rum), meaning "to be high" or "to rise." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for high places is ὑψηλός (hypsēlos), Strong's Greek #5308, which also conveys the idea of height or elevation. Usage: The term "Aromim" refers to elevated places or high places, often used in the context of worship or significant events. In the Hebrew Bible, high places were frequently associated with altars and worship, both of Yahweh and, at times, of foreign gods. The term can denote physical elevation as well as spiritual or religious significance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, high places were often chosen for worship due to their proximity to the heavens, symbolizing a closer connection to God. These sites could be natural elevations or man-made structures. While some high places were dedicated to the worship of Yahweh, others were used for idolatrous practices, which were condemned by the prophets and reforming kings. The use of high places reflects the ancient Near Eastern practice of associating elevation with divine presence. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originscribal error for Adomi, q.v.
