Usage: The verb רָמַם (ramam) is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey the action of rising or being exalted. It is often used in contexts where something or someone is elevated, either physically or metaphorically.

Context: The Hebrew verb רָמַם (ramam) is a primitive root that primarily means "to rise" or "to be exalted." It appears in various forms throughout the Old Testament, often in poetic or prophetic literature. The term can describe the physical act of rising, such as the lifting of an object or the rising of a structure. Metaphorically, it is used to describe the exaltation of individuals, nations, or even God Himself. For instance, in contexts where God is described as being exalted above all, רָמַם underscores His supreme authority and majesty. The verb is also used in contexts of triumph or victory, where the subject is elevated above adversaries or challenges. The usage of רָמַם in the Hebrew Bible reflects a theme of elevation, both in a literal and figurative sense, emphasizing the concept of being raised to a position of prominence or honor.
