Semantic domains 4 entries
- Landforms001002003
- This domain is shared with the broader "height" word family this compound name derives from, though the sampled citation (Judges 15:17) attests the place-name sense rather than the general landform sense directly.
- Cultic Sites001003002002
- רָמַת לֶחִי (Râmath Lechîy, H7437)'s own occurrence (only 1, with no distinguishing gloss recovered) gives no independent basis to confirm the "Cultic Sites" domain beyond what is recorded for its bundle partners; that classification is bundle-shared with רָמָה (râmâh, H7413), רָמָה (Râmâh, H7414), and רָמַת הַמִּצְפֶּה (Râmath ham-Mit-speh, H7434) in the source data and is not independently confirmed by this lexeme's own occurrence standing alone.
- Names of Locations003001010
- Judges 15:17 records that after casting away the jawbone he had used as a weapon, Samson "named that place Ramath-lehi," directly attesting this as a place name.
- Names of Landforms003001008
- This place name ("height of the jawbone") reflects a named landform, consistent with the same Judges 15:17 naming account.
