Height, Heights
ht, The English terms represent a large number of Hebrew words (gobhah, marom, komah, rum, etc.). A chief thing to notice is that in the Revised Version (British and American) height and heights are frequently substituted for other words in the King James Version, as coast (Jos 12:23), region (1Ki 4:11), borders (Jos 11:2), countries (Jos 17:11), strength (Psa 95:4), high places (Isa 41:18; Jer 3:2, Jer 3:21; Jer 7:29; Jer 12:12; Jer 14:6), high palaces (Psa 78:69). On the other hand, for height in the King James Version, the Revised Version (British and American) has stature (Eze 31:5, Eze 31:10), raised basement (Eze 41:8), etc. In the New Testament we have hupsoma, prop. of space (Rom 8:39), and hupsos of measure (Eph 3:18; Rev 21:16).
