International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
ra'-a-ma (ra'ma'):
(1) Thus spelled only in 1 Chronicles 1:9; elsewhere "Raamah" (ra'mah). A son
of Cush and father of Sheba and Dedan (Genesis
10:7 = 1 Chronicles 1:9).
(2) In Ezekiel's lament over Tyre (Ezekiel
27:22) the tribe of Raamah is mentioned along with Sheba as a mercantile people
who provided the inhabitants of Tyre with spices, precious stones and gold.
(3) It has 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 ra'mah in Southwestern
Arabia near Me'in in the north of Marib. Me'in was the capital of the old Minaean
kingdom.
