Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Of Egyptian originCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for רַעְמְסֵס, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and context. Usage: This proper noun refers to a city in ancient Egypt, which served as a significant location during the Israelites' sojourn in Egypt. It is mentioned in the context of the Israelites' enslavement and their subsequent exodus. Context: Rameses, also spelled Raamses, is a city of great historical and biblical significance. It is mentioned in the context of the Israelites' time in Egypt, specifically as one of the store cities built by the Israelites during their period of enslavement under Pharaoh. The city is noted in the Book of Exodus as a starting point for the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. In Exodus 1:11, it is written, "So they put slave masters over them to oppress them with forced labor, and they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh." Additionally, in Exodus 12:37, the departure of the Israelites is recorded: "The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children." The city is also mentioned in Genesis 47:11, where Joseph settles his family in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded. The name Rameses is of Egyptian origin, likely linked to the Egyptian Pharaohs named Ramesses, and it reflects the city's importance as a royal and administrative center during the New Kingdom period of Egypt.
