Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew roots רַעַם (ra'am, meaning "to thunder") and יָה (Yah, a shortened form of Yahweh). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the Hebrew name רַעַמְיָה (Raamjah) in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as it is a unique Hebrew proper noun without a direct counterpart in the Greek New Testament. Usage: This proper noun is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: • Raamjah is a name found in the genealogical records of the post-exilic community of Israel. The name reflects a theophoric element, incorporating the divine name Yahweh, which was common in Hebrew names, signifying a relationship or attribute associated with God. The root "ra'am" suggests an association with thunder, a natural phenomenon often linked with divine power and presence in biblical literature. This name, therefore, can be interpreted as emphasizing the might and authority of Yahweh, akin to the sound of thunder. • The name Raamjah appears in the context of the return from Babylonian exile, a period marked by the restoration of the Jewish community and the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the Temple. Names from this era often reflect themes of divine intervention, hope, and renewal, as the Israelites sought to re-establish their identity and covenant relationship with God. • The specific mention of Raamjah in the genealogical lists underscores the importance of lineage and heritage in the post-exilic community, as these records were crucial for establishing tribal affiliations and rights within the restored nation of Israel.
