SIBI-P1 H4132-04
heights
| Root | במה (b-m-h) |
| Core Meanings | height, elevation, raised place, ridge |
| Semantic Range | physical high places, elevated terrain, cultic platforms, local shrines, worship sites on hills or raised ground |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Hebrew Bible, בָּמוֹת often refers to elevated sites used for worship, especially in pre-centralized or syncretistic religious contexts. These "heights" become a focal point in theological discussions about proper worship, covenant faithfulness, and the tension between localized shrines and the central sanctuary. |
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine noun, plural absolute (Ncfpa). The singular is בָּמָה (bāmāh). In biblical usage it often appears in the plural to denote multiple elevated sites, frequently associated with worship. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בָּמוֹת is the feminine plural absolute form of בָּמָה, derived from the root denoting height or elevation. Rendering it as "heights" preserves the core spatial meaning of raised places while accurately reflecting the feminine plural morphology indicated by HNcfpa. |
