Strong's Lexicon ge: Proud, Arrogant Original Word: גֵּא Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּאָה (ga'ah), which means "to rise" or "to be exalted." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of pride is ὑπερήφανος (hyperēphanos), Strong's Greek #5244, which also denotes arrogance or haughtiness. Usage: The Hebrew word גֵּא (ge) is used to describe a person or attitude characterized by pride or arrogance. It often conveys a sense of self-exaltation or haughtiness, which is viewed negatively in the biblical context. The term is used to caution against the dangers of pride and to emphasize the virtue of humility. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, humility was a valued trait, and pride was often associated with rebellion against God. The biblical narrative frequently contrasts the proud with the humble, highlighting the downfall of those who exalt themselves. The cultural context of the ancient Near East also viewed pride as a vice that could lead to one's downfall, aligning with the biblical perspective that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.
