רָמָה: n.f. height, high-place [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/tanakh/1512/7413/#m2)

**The whole BDB entry:** n.f. height, high-place;—abs. ר׳ as term. techn. (cf. בָּמָה), = shrine (for illicit worship): Ez 16:25; ‖ גַּב v 24, 31, 39; so perhaps 1 S 22:6, but read prob. בָּמָה, 𝔊 Βαμα (A Ραμμα), HPS.

Why these entries: BDB: headword, part of speech agrees, 5 of its verses cited, 2 words shared with the glosses, lists its Strong's number (16 candidates); OSHB: headword, part of speech agrees, 1 words shared with the BDB entry, 0 with the glosses (11 candidates)
