Raamiah:
thunder, or evil, from the Lord
Raamiah:
ra-a-mi'-a (raamyah; Codex Vaticanus Naamia; Codex Alexandrinus, Rheelma): One of the leading men who returned with Zerubbabel from captivity (Ne 7:7). In the corresponding passage in Ezr 2:2, where the same list is named, a slight variation in form is given. "Reelaiah" is the name found in this passage. Doubtless, one is a corruption of the other. Both have the same root meaning.s generally been identified with Regina, mentioned by Ptolemy and Steph. Byzantr. as a city in Southeastern Arabia on the shores of the Persian Gulf. The Septuagint (Rhegma) itself supposes this site. But the Arabic name of the city here indicated is spelled with a "g" and so gives rise to a phonological difficulty. A more probable identification has been found in the Sabean ramah in Southwestern Arabia near Mein in the north of Marib. Mein was the capital of the old Minaean kingdom.
Raamiah:
(thunder of Jehovah) one of the chiefs who returned with Zerubbabel (Nehemiah 7:7). In Ezra 2:2, he is called REELAIAH. SEE [REELAIAH]. (B.C. 445)
