the uplifted mountain-heights

Rootὄρος (oros)
Core Meaningsmountain, highland, elevated place, rising height
Semantic Rangemountain, hill, highland region, elevated terrain, mountainous district
Conceptual SignificanceMountains in biblical literature often signify places of divine revelation, covenant encounters, refuge, judgment, and eschatological hope. As elevated places, they symbolize stability, prominence, and proximity to the heavens, frequently serving as settings for significant redemptive events.
Morphological NotesNoun; accusative case; neuter gender; plural number (ANP). The accusative marks it as the direct object or object of certain prepositions; neuter plural form ὄρη from lemma ὄρος.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "uplifted mountain-heights" reflects the probable root sense of something rising or rearing upward, preserving the imagery inherent in ὄρος. The plural form "mountain-heights" reflects the accusative neuter plural (ANP), indicating multiple mountains functioning as direct objects in their clauses.
