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.

This practice is seen throughout the ancient Near East, where stone heaps were used for both practical and symbolic purposes.
