Strong's Lexicon romemah: Exaltation, elevation, lifting up Original Word: רוֹמְמָה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: rowmmah Pronunciation: roh-MAY-mah Phonetic Spelling: (ro-mem-aw') Definition: Exaltation, elevation, lifting up Meaning: exaltation, praise Word Origin: Derived from the root רוּם (rum), meaning "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 lifting up. Usage: The term "romemah" is used to convey the concept of exaltation or elevation, often in a spiritual or moral sense. It can refer to the act of lifting something up, whether it be a physical object, a person, or an abstract concept such as praise or honor. In the biblical context, it frequently pertains to the exaltation of God or His attributes, as well as the elevation of His people in righteousness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the idea of elevation was closely associated with honor and divine favor. High places were often considered sacred, and the act of lifting something up was symbolic of giving it importance or reverence. The concept of exaltation is deeply rooted in the worship practices of the Israelites, where God is often described as being "high and lifted up" (Isaiah 6:1). This reflects the cultural understanding of God's supreme authority and the reverence due to Him. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin the same as romam, q.v.
