Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Arumah, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of a strategic location or stronghold can be related to Greek terms like "φρούριον" (phourion), meaning "fortress" or "stronghold." Usage: Arumah is a place name mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. It is identified as a location associated with Abimelech, a son of Gideon, who used it as a base of operations during his rule over Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: Arumah is mentioned in the context of the turbulent period of the Judges, a time characterized by a lack of centralized leadership in Israel.
