Usage: Raamses, or Rameses, refers to a city in ancient Egypt that is mentioned in the context of the Israelites' enslavement and subsequent exodus. It is one of the store cities built by the Israelites during their bondage in Egypt.

Cultural and Historical Background: Raamses is historically significant as it is associated with the period of Israelite slavery in Egypt. The city is believed to have been a major urban center during the New Kingdom period of Egypt, particularly under the reign of Pharaoh Rameses II. It served as a storage city, which aligns with the biblical narrative of the Israelites being forced into labor to build such cities for the Egyptians.
