I. רַעְמָה (Gi^{Intr. 127 f.}) noun feminine vibration? quivering mane? of horse's neck: Job 39:19 hast thou clothed his neck (with) ׳ר? so most, but very uncertain.

Word Origin: Derived from the root רָעַם (ra'am), which means "to thunder" or "to roar."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for רַעְמָה in the Strong's Concordance, as the concept of a horse's mane is more culturally and contextually specific to the Hebrew Bible. However, Greek terms related to horses or strength, such as ἵππος (hippos, Strong's Greek 2462) for "horse," may be considered in broader thematic studies.

Usage: The term רַעְמָה is used in the context of describing the mane of a horse, emphasizing its grandeur and strength.

Context: רַעְמָה (ra'mah) appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe the mane of a horse, a symbol of strength and majesty. The mane, often associated with the power and beauty of the horse, is a feature that enhances the animal's imposing presence. In the ancient Near Eastern context, horses were highly valued for their role in warfare and transportation, and their physical attributes, such as the mane, were often highlighted in literature and art to convey their formidable nature.

The imagery of a horse's mane can be found in poetic and prophetic texts, where it serves as a metaphor for strength and might. The mane's flowing and thunderous appearance is likened to the sound of roaring or thundering, drawing a parallel between the natural world and the divine power often depicted in biblical narratives.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to evoke the majesty and power of the horse, reflecting the broader biblical theme of God's creation and the awe-inspiring elements within it. The mane, as a part of the horse, symbolizes not only physical strength but also the beauty and order inherent in God's design.
