Strong's Lexicon romemuth: Exaltation, loftiness, elevation Original Word: רוֹמֵמוּת Word Origin: Derived from the root רוּם (rum), which means "to be high" or "to rise." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is ὕψωσις (hypsōsis), Strong's Greek #5311, which also means exaltation or elevation. Usage: The term "romemuth" conveys the idea of exaltation or elevation, often in a figurative sense. It is used to describe the state of being lifted up, whether in terms of physical height, social status, or spiritual elevation. In the biblical context, it frequently refers to the exaltation of God or the elevated status of His people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, height and elevation were often associated with power, authority, and divine presence. High places were commonly used for worship, and the concept of being "lifted up" was symbolic of honor and reverence. The Hebrew understanding of exaltation was deeply connected to the acknowledgment of God's supreme authority and the recognition of His sovereignty over all creation.
