Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root רוּם (rum), which means "to be high" or "to rise."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G2906 (κρῆμνος, kremnos): A steep place or precipice.
G3735 (ὄρος, oros): A mountain or hill.
G3772 (οὐρανός, ouranos): The sky or heaven.
G5310 (ὑψηλός, hypsēlos): High, lofty, or exalted.
G5311 (ὕψος, hypsos): Height, altitude, or elevation.

These Greek terms share thematic connections with מָרוֹם, as they all relate to concepts of height, elevation, and exaltation, whether in a physical or metaphorical sense.

Usage: The term מָרוֹם is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote physical height or elevation, often referring to high places, both literal and metaphorical. It can describe the heights of mountains, the heavens, or exalted positions.

Context: מָרוֹם (marom) appears in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, emphasizing the concept of height or exaltation. It is frequently used to describe the physical elevation of mountains or the heavens, as seen in passages like Isaiah 40:22, "He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its dwellers are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in." Here, מָרוֹם conveys the grandeur and majesty of God's creation.

Additionally, מָרוֹם is employed metaphorically to signify exalted status or divine majesty. In Psalm 93:4, "Above the roar of many waters—the mighty breakers of the sea—the LORD on high is majestic," the term underscores the supreme authority and power of God, who is exalted above all creation.

The word also appears in contexts of judgment and deliverance, as in Isaiah 33:5, "The LORD is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness." Here, מָרוֹם reflects God's sovereign position and His ability to enact justice from His elevated throne.
