International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

rē´meth , rem´eth ( רמת , remeth  ; Codex Vaticanus Ῥεμμάς , Rhemmás  ; Codex Alexandrinus Ῥαμάθ , Rhamáth ): A place in the territory of Issachar named with En-gannim ( Joshua 19:21 ). It is probably identical with Ramoth of 1 Chronicles 6:73 , and Jarmuth of Joshua 21:29 . It is represented today by the village er - Rāmeh , situated on a hill which rises abruptly from the green plain about 11 miles Southwest of Jenı̄n (Engannim). While the southern boundary of Issachar was, roughly, the southern edge of the plain of Esdraelon, the possessions of the tribes seem sometimes to have overlapped. See Jarmuth; Ramoth .

Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature

(Heb. id. רֶמֶת , height; Sept. ῾Ραμμάθ v. r. ῾Ραμμάς ), a city in the territory of Issachar (Joshua 19:21), called, as it seems, RAMOTH (See Ramoth) (q.v.) in 1 Chronicles 6:73. As the place is named in the first of the above passages next to En-gannim (Jenin), the site is possibly represented by a tell with ruins south of Zerin (Jezreel) between Sundela and Mukeibileh. Dr. Porter (in Kitto's Cyclop. s.v.) suggests that the place may be identical with the ruined fortress and village called Wezar, perched upon the northern rocky face of Mt. Gilboa (Robinson, Researches, 3:157, 160; new ed. 3, 339).
