| Lehite GN/Jaredite GN | 1. | JAREDITE/NEPHITE hill (Ether 15:11) |
Etymology
RAMAH is given in Ether 15:11 as the name of the hill where CORIANTUMR encamped before his final battle as well as the name of the place where MORMON hid the sacred records. Given the close association of the location with both events, the name RAMAH may well be of NEPHITE, rather than JAREDITE, origin, and may be derived from the Hebrew rāmāh, "elevation, height;" cf. HALOT. RAMAH was also called CUMORAH by the NEPHITES (6:6; cf. Ether 15:11).
