Strong's Lexicon Shemiramoth: Shemiramoth Original Word: שְׁמִירָמוֹת Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: "shem" (name) and "ramoth" (heights or exalted places). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Shemiramoth, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context. However, the role of musicians and worship leaders can be seen in the New Testament, such as in the use of the Greek word "ψαλμωδός" (psalmodos) for a psalmist or singer of sacred songs. Usage: Shemiramoth is a proper name used in the Hebrew Bible, referring to a Levite musician and a leader in the service of worship during the reign of King David. The name can be interpreted to mean "name of the heights" or "name of exaltations," reflecting a sense of honor or elevation. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often held significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of a person's role or character. The Levites were a tribe set apart for religious duties, and music played a crucial role in worship and temple services. Shemiramoth, as a Levite musician, would have been responsible for leading and performing music that accompanied worship, which was an integral part of Israelite religious life.
