Ramoth

From BibleEncyclopedia.Net

Ramoth (1)

rā´moth:

(1) ראמות, rā'mōth, "heights"; ὴ Ῥαμώθ, hē Rhamṓth: A Levitical city in the territory of the tribe of Issachar assigned to the Gershonite Levites (1 Samuel 30:27; 1 Chronicles 6:73), , the same as Jarmuth (Joshua 21:29) and Remeth, Joshua 19:21, mentioned between Daberath and Anem. It seems to correspond to “Remeth” in Joshua 19:21, and to “Jarmuth” in Joshua 21:29, and is possibly identical with er-Rāmeh about 11 miles Southwest of Jenīn.

(2) Ramoth of the South. See Ramah, (5).

(3) Ramoth in Gilead. See Ramoth-Gilead.
