This term is rooted in the verb רָגַם (ragam), which means "to stone" or "to heap up stones," indicating the action of piling stones together.

They served as tangible reminders of covenants, boundaries, or divine interventions. The use of stone-heaps is a recurring motif in the Hebrew Bible, symbolizing permanence and testimony. While the specific term מַרְגֵּמָה may not appear frequently, the concept of stone-heaps is well-documented in various narratives, illustrating their cultural and religious significance in ancient Israelite society.
