Strong's Lexicon rom: Height, exaltation, pride Original Word: רוֹם Word Origin: Derived from the root רוּם (rum), which means "to be high" or "to rise." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5311: ὕψος (hypsos) - height, exaltation - G5244: ὑπερηφανία (hyperēphania) - pride, arrogance Usage: The Hebrew word "rom" primarily denotes height or exaltation, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. It can refer to physical elevation, such as the height of a mountain, or to the exalted status of a person or God. In a negative context, it can also imply pride or arrogance, where someone elevates themselves above others or above God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, height was often associated with power, authority, and divinity. Mountains were seen as places closer to the divine, and high places were often used for worship. The concept of being "high" or "exalted" was also linked to kingship and divine favor. However, excessive pride or self-exaltation was viewed negatively, as it was seen as a challenge to God's ultimate authority.
