Strong's Lexicon rum: To be high, exalted, rise, lift up Original Word: רוּם Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5312 (ὑψόω, hypsoō): To lift up, exalt - G5308 (ὑψηλός, hypsēlos): High, lofty Usage: The Hebrew verb "rum" primarily conveys the idea of height or elevation, both in a physical and metaphorical sense. It is used to describe the act of lifting or raising something up, as well as the state of being elevated or exalted. This can refer to physical objects, people, or abstract concepts such as status or power. In the context of worship, "rum" often denotes the exaltation of God, highlighting His supreme authority and majesty. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, height was often associated with power, authority, and divinity. High places were frequently chosen for altars and temples, symbolizing closeness to the divine. The concept of elevation was not only physical but also social and spiritual, with kings and deities often described as being "high" or "exalted." This cultural understanding is reflected in the biblical usage of "rum," where God is frequently depicted as the Most High, emphasizing His sovereignty over all creation.
