SIBI-P1 H1116-03
high-elevations
| Root | במה (b-m-h) |
| Core Meanings | height, elevation, high place, raised platform |
| Semantic Range | elevated terrain, hilltop shrines, raised cultic platforms, heights (including metaphorical or poetic uses such as waves) |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Hebrew Bible, the "high-elevations" often denote local worship sites, frequently associated with syncretistic or unauthorized worship in contrast to the central sanctuary. They become a key symbol of covenantal unfaithfulness and religious decentralization in Israel’s history. |
| Morphological Notes | Feminine noun בָּמָה; forms attested here are feminine plural absolute (בָּמוֹת) and feminine plural construct. No pronominal suffixes in the listed forms. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בָּמָה derives from a root conveying height or elevation. The forms given are feminine plural (absolute and construct), so the rendering preserves plurality with "high-elevations," maintaining the core sense of raised or lofty places rather than abstracting to a generic term. |
