Ramah (ancient Israel)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ramah or Rama ("height") may refer to one of several places in ancient Israel, including:

  • Ramathaim-Zophim, the birth-place of Samuel
  • Ramoth-Gilead, a Levite city of refuge
  • Ramah in Benjamin
  • Baalath-Beer, also known as Ramoth of the South, in the tribe of Simeon
  • a city of Asher, which seems to be difficult to identify. Some have believed it to be the same as Rameh, southeast of Tyre
  • a city in Naphtali's territory. It may be the same as Khirbet Zeitun er-Rameh east of today's Rameh village
