Strong's Lexicon rammak: Steed, Horse Original Word: רַמָּךְ Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to heap up or pile. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the Greek word "ἵππος" (hippos, Strong's G2462) is used in the New Testament to refer to horses, such as in Revelation 6:2. Usage: The term "rammak" refers specifically to a type of horse, often implying a strong or noble steed. It is used in the context of describing horses that are well-suited for battle or ceremonial purposes, highlighting their strength and majesty. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, horses were symbols of power and prestige. They were primarily used in warfare and by the elite for transportation. The possession of horses was often associated with military strength and royal authority. In Israel, the use of horses was sometimes viewed with caution due to the reliance on God's power rather than military might (Deuteronomy 17:16).
