Berean Strong's Lexicon ramah: Height, high place Original Word: רָמָה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: ramah Pronunciation: rah-MAH Phonetic Spelling: (raw-maw') Definition: Height, high place Meaning: a height Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "ramah," the concept of high places can be related to Greek terms such as ὑψηλός (hypsēlos), meaning "high" or "lofty," which is used in the New Testament to describe elevated or exalted things. Usage: The Hebrew word "ramah" generally refers to a high place or elevated location. In the context of the Old Testament, it often denotes a physical elevation, such as a hill or a mountain. It can also imply a place of significance or prominence, sometimes used metaphorically to describe a position of honor or authority. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, high places (bamot) were often sites of worship, both for Yahweh and for other deities. These locations were chosen for their elevation, which was believed to bring worshippers closer to the divine. The use of high places was a common practice in the ancient Near East, and they often included altars, pillars, or other structures for religious rituals. While some high places were sanctioned by God, others were condemned by the prophets for idolatrous practices.
