This Ramah entry refers to the border town in the territory of Asher, distinct from the better-known Ramahs of Benjamin and Ephraim. It is important as part of the tribal boundary and settlement geography of the north. First appears in Josh 19:29.1
AI summary: This northern Ramah appears only briefly, but its role is still useful for understanding the land's tribal map. Rather than carrying the prophetic, royal, or lament tradition of the more famous Ramahs, it belongs to the boundary language of Asher's inheritance. That gives it a primarily geographic significance. The cross references present this Ramah as a northern settlement marker rather than a major narrative center.1
A town identified with Rameh, on the border of Asher, about 13 miles south-east of Tyre, “on a solitary hill in the midst of a basin of green fields” (Josh. 19:29). 3
