ma.rom denotes an elevated place or position, including mountain ground, a lofty dwelling, and what is situated above.

The term most often identifies elevated terrain or a lofty site, especially mountains, rocky locations, and positions within a town. It also marks what is above as a source or dwelling-place, and can describe persons, cities, or things placed in an elevated position.

3. An elevated or exalted position · occasional

   In several clauses, elevation describes a raised position assigned to people, settlements, or objects rather than a particular piece of terrain. Ecclesiastes 10:6 says folly is set in “many high places,” Isaiah 26:5 names dwellers of an elevated town brought down, and Job 5:11 contrasts the lowly being set above with mourners lifted to safety.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously presents the surrounding clauses with expressions such as “heights,” “on high,” “from above,” and “high places.” These renderings indicate the verse-level setting rather than a fixed English equivalent in every occurrence.
