(Heb. tRamath' Lechi', רָמִת לֶחַי , Craggy Height [see below]; Sept. Ἀναίρεσις Σιαγόνος ; Vulg. Ramathlechi , Quod Intienp Etatur Elevatio Maxilloe ) . The origin of this name, which occurs only in Judges 15:17, forms one of the most romantic episodes in Scripture history. Samson, having been bound with two new cords, was given up to the Philistines at a place called Lehi , a name which signifies "jawbone." When the enemy attacked him, he burst his bonds, seized the jawbone (Lehi ) of an ass that lay upon the ground, and with this odd weapon slew a thousand of them. Then he threw away the jawbone, and, as a memorial of the event, and by a characteristic play upon the old name, he called the place Ramath-lehithat is, the lifting (or wielding?) of the jawbone; and so it is interpreted in the Vulgate and in the Sept. (See Samson).
But Gesenius has pointed out ( Thesaur. p. 752 A ) that to be consistent with this the vowel-points should be altered, and the words become רְמִת לְחַי ; and that as they at present stand they are exactly parallel to Ramath-mizpeh and Ramath-negeb, and mean the "height of Lechi." If we met with a similar account in ordinary history, we should say that the name had already been Ramath-lehi, and that the writer of the narrative, with that fondness for paronomasia which distinguishes these ancient records, had indulged himself in connecting the name with a possible exclamation of his hero. But the fact of the positive statement in this case may make us hesitate in coming to such a conclusion in less authoritative records. For the topography of the place, (See Lehi).
