Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root רָגַם (ragam), which means "to heap up" or "to stone."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G2232 (ἡγεμών • hēgemōn), which means "leader" or "governor." While the Greek term does not directly translate to "pile" or "throng," it shares a conceptual link in terms of gathering or assembly, as a leader often presides over a group or assembly of people. The connection lies in the idea of a collective, whether it be a throng of people or a group under leadership. Usage: This term is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a collection or gathering, whether of objects like stones or of people. It conveys the idea of accumulation or assembly. Context: רִגְמָה (Rigmah) appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts that emphasize the gathering or piling up of items or individuals. The root רָגַם (ragam) suggests an action of accumulation, often associated with stoning, which involves the gathering of stones. In biblical narratives, the imagery of a "pile" or "throng" can symbolize both physical and metaphorical gatherings, such as a crowd of people or a heap of stones used for a specific purpose. The term captures the essence of collective presence, whether inanimate or animate, and is illustrative of the communal or collective actions depicted in biblical stories.
