Ramoth, name of a city (Heights) mentioned in Josh 19:21
A place name appearing in the tribal allotment lists, this town is identified as Remeth in Joshua 19:21. The name likely derives from a root meaning 'heights' or 'elevated place,' fitting the geographical pattern of many Israelite settlements positioned on strategic high ground. The multilingual uniformity (Spanish Remet, French Remeth, German Remeth) reflects the proper-name preservation typical of geographical terms.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A city in the territory assigned to the tribe of Issachar, mentioned alongside other border towns in the allocation described in Joshua 19. The translation consistency across European languages (y-Remet, et-Remeth, und-Remeth) shows the standard practice of transliterating place names with minimal phonetic adaptation, though the Hebrew conjunction 'and' is properly rendered in each target language. 1×
