Strong's Lexicon
huperauxanó: To increase abundantly, to grow exceedingly

Original Word: ὑπεραυξάνω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: huperauxanó
Pronunciation: hoop-er-owx-an'-o
Phonetic Spelling: (hoop-er-owx-an'-o)
Definition: To increase abundantly, to grow exceedingly
Meaning: I increase exceedingly or beyond measure.

Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ὑπέρ (huper, meaning "above" or "beyond") and αὐξάνω (auxanó, meaning "to grow" or "to increase").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὑπεραυξάνω, similar concepts of growth and increase can be found in Hebrew words like רָבָה (rabah, Strong's H7235) meaning "to multiply" or "to increase."

Usage: The verb ὑπεραυξάνω is used to describe a process of growth or increase that is beyond the ordinary or expected. It conveys the idea of something flourishing or expanding in a remarkable or extraordinary manner. In the New Testament, it is often used metaphorically to describe spiritual growth or the increase of faith and love among believers.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, growth and increase were often associated with agricultural metaphors, reflecting the agrarian society of the time. The concept of growth was not only physical but also applied to virtues, knowledge, and spiritual maturity. The prefix ὑπέρ (huper) intensifies the action, suggesting a divine or supernatural element to the growth, aligning with the Christian understanding of spiritual development as empowered by God.
