Pronunciation: sil-lone' or sal-lone'
Phonetic Spelling: (sil-lone')
Definition: Exaltation, elevation, or a high place.

Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be elevated or to lift up.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of elevation or exaltation is ὕψωμα (hypsoma), Strong's Greek 5313, which also denotes a high place or something lifted up.

Usage: The term "sillon" or "sallon" is used to denote a place of elevation or a high place, often in a metaphorical sense to describe a position of honor or exaltation. It can also refer to a physical high place, such as a hill or a raised area.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, high places were often associated with worship and religious practices. They were locations where altars were built, and sacrifices were made, sometimes to Yahweh and at other times to foreign gods. The concept of elevation was also metaphorically significant, representing honor, authority, and divine favor.
