| Core Meanings | to be high, to rise, to be exalted, to be lifted up |
| Semantic Range | physical heights, elevated places, high heavens, lofty positions, exalted realms, figurative heights of dignity or pride |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used of the high heavens or lofty realms associated with divine dwelling or supreme authority, the term evokes both physical elevation and metaphorical exaltation, underscoring themes of transcendence, sovereignty, and the distinction between what is lifted high and what is low. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine plural noun, absolute form (HNcmpa). Derived from מָרוֹם, itself a noun of elevation from the root רום. No pronominal suffix or construct relationship in this form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מְרוֹמִים is the masculine plural absolute form of מָרוֹם, derived from the root רום (“to be high, exalted”).
