em'-i-nent:

In the King James Version (only in Ezek 16:24; Ezek 16:31; Ezek 16:39; Ezek 17:22) refers literally to physical elevation; the Revised Version (British and American) in the last passage renders "lofty" (Hebrew talul, "uplifted," "heaped up") and in the others "vaulted place" (Hebrew gabh, "rounded place," "mound" the English Revised Version, margin "a vaulted chamber").
