Strong's Lexicon ramuth: Height, Exaltation Original Word: רָמוּת Word Origin: Derived from the root רוּם (rum), meaning "to be high" or "to rise." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of exaltation is ὕψος (hypsos), Strong's Greek #5311, which also means height or elevation. This term is used in the New Testament to describe both physical heights and spiritual exaltation, such as in Ephesians 4:8, "When He ascended on high, He led captives away and gave gifts to men." Usage: The term "ramuth" is used to denote a state of being elevated or exalted. It can refer to physical heights, such as hills or elevated places, as well as metaphorical heights, such as positions of honor or spiritual exaltation. In the biblical context, it often conveys the idea of being lifted up by God or being in a place of divine favor. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, physical heights were often associated with places of worship and divine encounters. High places (bamot) were common sites for altars and religious ceremonies. The concept of exaltation also held significant spiritual meaning, as it was believed that God exalts the humble and brings down the proud. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's sovereignty in elevating individuals and nations according to His purposes.
