Strong's Lexicon
hupsoó: To lift up, to exalt, to raise high

Original Word: ὑψόω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: hupsoó
Pronunciation: hoop-so'-o
Phonetic Spelling: (hoop-so'-o)
Definition: To lift up, to exalt, to raise high
Meaning: (a) I raise on high, lift up, (b) I exalt, set on high.

Word Origin: From the Greek word ὕψος (hupsos), meaning "height" or "elevation."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7311 (רוּם, rum): To be high, to rise, to be exalted.

- H5375 (נָשָׂא, nasa): To lift, to carry, to take.

Usage: The verb ὑψόω (hupsoó) primarily means to lift up or elevate physically or metaphorically. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe the act of exalting or glorifying someone, particularly in reference to Jesus Christ. It can also imply raising someone to a position of honor or authority.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of being "lifted up" or exalted was associated with honor, power, and divine favor. In Jewish thought, being exalted by God was seen as a sign of His blessing and approval. The New Testament writers, particularly in the context of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection, use this term to convey the paradox of Christ's humiliation and subsequent exaltation.

STRONGS NT 5312: ὑψόω

ὑψόω, ὑψῶ; future ὑψώσω; 1 aorist ὕψωσα; passive, 1 aorist ὑψωθην; 1 future ὑψωθήσομαι; (ὕψος); (Batr. 81; Hippocrates, others); the Sept. very often for רוּם, also for גָּבַהּ, נָשָׂא, גָּדַל, etc.; to lift up on high, to exalt, (Vulg.exalto): τινα or τί, properly, of place, John 3:14{a}; used of the elevation of Jesus on the cross, John 3:14{b}; ; with ἐκ τῆς γῆς added, to remove from (literally, out of) the earth by crucifixion (ὑψοῦν τινα followed by ἐκ, Psalm 9:14), John 12:32 (the Evangelist himself interprets the word of the lifting up upon the cross, but a careful comparison of John 8:28 and John 12:32 renders it probable that Jesus spoke of the heavenly exaltation which he was to attain by the crucifixion (cf. John 12:23ff, John 13:31ff, Luke 24:26), and employed the Aramaic word רוּם, the ambiguity of which allowed it to be understood of the crucifixion; cf. Bleek, Beiträge zur Evangelienkritik, p. 231f; (the 'lifting up' includes death and the victory over death; the passion itself is regarded as a glorification; cf. Westcott at the passage)); τινα ἕως τοῦ οὐρανοῦ (opposed to καταβιβάζειν (or καταβαίνειν ἕως ᾅδου), metaphorically, to raise to the very summit of opulence and prosperity, passive, Matthew 11:23; Luke 10:15 (others understood exaltation in privilege as referred to in these passages (see Matthew 11:21)); simply τινα, to exalt, to raise to dignity, honor, and happiness: Luke 1:52 (where opposed to ταπεινῷ); Acts 13:17; to that state of mind which ought to characterize a Christian, 2 Corinthians 11:7; to raise the spirits by the blessings of salvation, James 4:10; 1 Peter 5:6; ἐμαυτόν, to exalt oneself (with haughtiness and empty pride) (opposed to ταπεινῷ), Matthew 23:12; Luke 14:11; Luke 18:14; — in these same passages ὑψωθήσεται occurs, he shall be raised to honor. By a union of the literal and the tropical senses God is said ὑψῶσαι Christ τῇ δεξιά αὐτοῦ, Acts 5:31; passive, Acts 2:33; the dative in this phrase, judged according to Greek usage, hardly bears any other meaning than with (by means of) his right hand (his power) (R. V. text); but the context forbids it to denote anything except at (to) the right hand of God (so R. V. marginal reading); hence, the opinion of those has great probability who regard Peter's phrase as formed on the model of the Aramaean לְיָמִין; cf. Bleek, Einl. in das N. T. edition 1, p. 346 (but see Winer's Grammar, 214 (201), 215 (202); Meyer at the passage Compare: ὑπερυψόω.)
