Berean Strong's Lexicon rigmah: Heap, Pile Original Word: רִגְמָה Word Origin: Derived from the root רָגַם (ragam), meaning "to heap up" or "to stone." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "rigmah," the concept of a heap or pile can be related to Greek terms like σωρός (sōros), meaning "heap" or "pile." Usage: The term "rigmah" refers to a heap or pile, often used in the context of stones or other materials gathered together. It conveys the idea of accumulation or collection, typically in a physical sense. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, heaps of stones were often used as markers or memorials. They could signify a place of significance, such as a burial site or a location where a significant event occurred. The act of piling stones was a communal activity, often serving as a witness to a covenant or agreement. This practice is seen throughout the ancient Near East, where stone heaps were used for both practical and symbolic purposes.
