Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew רַמִּי (Rammi) in the Strong's Greek Concordance. However, the concept of Aramaeans or related terms may be indirectly referenced in Greek texts, particularly in the context of the New Testament where Aramaic language and culture are occasionally mentioned.

Usage: The term רַמִּי is used to denote a member of the Ramite clan or an Aramaean, indicating a connection to the region or people associated with Ram.

Context: • The term רַמִּי (Rammi) is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to individuals or groups associated with the lineage or region of Ram. The name Ram itself is linked to several individuals in the biblical genealogies, most notably in the lineage of Judah, as seen in the genealogical records of the tribes of Israel.
• The Ramites, or Aramaeans, are often associated with the broader Semitic peoples who inhabited the regions of Mesopotamia and the Levant. The Aramaeans played a significant role in the history of the ancient Near East, and their language, Aramaic, became a lingua franca of the region.
• In the context of the Bible, the term may be used to identify individuals who are part of the genealogical records or to describe the ethnic or regional identity of certain groups. The Ramites are part of the intricate tapestry of tribes and families that make up the narrative of the Israelite people.
• The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) does not specifically mention "Rammi" in its text, but the concept of the Ramites or Aramaeans is integral to understanding the historical and cultural backdrop of the biblical narrative.
