loftiness (of…)
| Root | רום (r-w-m) |
| Core Meanings | height, elevation, exaltation, rising, lifting up |
| Semantic Range | physical height, elevated place, exalted status, pride, majesty, raised offering, upward movement |
| Conceptual Significance | The root רום expresses both literal elevation and metaphorical exaltation. It is frequently used of YHWH’s exalted status above all creation, as well as of human pride or haughtiness, contrasting divine majesty with human self-exaltation. |
| Morphological Notes | Primarily a masculine singular noun in the construct state (HNcmsc), indicating possession or relationship ("loftiness of …"). One occurrence reflects the verbal root (Qal), from which the noun derives. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun form רוּם (HNcmsc) is a masculine singular construct meaning "loftiness of," preserving the core sense of elevation from the root רום (to be high, to raise up). Rendering it as "loftiness (of…)" maintains both the abstract sense of height and the construct relationship indicated by the morphology. |
