Strong's Lexicon hupsos: Height, high place, exaltation Original Word: ὕψος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ὑψόω (hupsoō), meaning "to lift up" or "to exalt." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with "hupsos" is רוּם (rum), Strong's Hebrew 7311, which means "to be high" or "to be exalted." Usage: The Greek word "hupsos" primarily denotes physical height or elevation. It can also refer to a metaphorical or spiritual exaltation, indicating a state of being lifted up or elevated in status or honor. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe the exalted position of God or Christ, as well as the spiritual elevation of believers. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, height was often associated with power, divinity, and authority.
