Phonetic Spelling: (kat-ab-ib-ad'-zo)
Definition: To bring down, to lead down, to lower

Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "κατά" (kata, meaning "down") and the verb "βιβάζω" (bibazó, meaning "to bring" or "to lead").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "katabibazó," the concept of bringing down or lowering can be found in Hebrew words like "יָרַד" (yarad, Strong's H3381), which means "to go down" or "to descend."

Usage: The verb "katabibazó" is used to describe the action of bringing or leading something or someone down from a higher place to a lower one. It can be used in both literal and metaphorical contexts, often implying a movement from a position of elevation to one of humility or submission.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of lowering or bringing down could have both physical and social implications. Physically, it might refer to the act of lowering an object or person. Socially or metaphorically, it could imply a reduction in status or power, aligning with the biblical theme of humility and the exaltation of the humble. The cultural context of honor and shame in the ancient world often saw the act of being "brought down" as a significant event, whether in a literal or figurative sense.
