Word Origin: Derived from רָמוֹת (ramoth, meaning "heights" or "high places") and נֶגֶב (negeb, meaning "south" or "dry region")

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Ramoth-negeb in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew geographical name.

Usage: Ramoth-negeb refers to a specific location in the southern part of ancient Israel, known as the Negev. The term "Ramoth" suggests elevated terrain or high places, indicating that this location was likely situated on a hill or elevated area within the arid region of the Negev.

Cultural and Historical Background: The Negev is a desert region in the southern part of modern-day Israel. In biblical times, it was a significant area for the tribes of Israel, particularly for the tribe of Judah. The Negev was known for its harsh climate and sparse vegetation, making it a challenging environment for settlement and agriculture. However, it was strategically important due to its location and the trade routes that passed through it.
