Strong's Lexicon geah: Proud, haughty, arrogant Original Word: גֵּאָה Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּאָה (ga'ah), which means "to rise up" or "to be exalted." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of pride is ὑπερηφανία (hyperēphania), Strong's Greek #5243, which also denotes arrogance or haughtiness. Usage: The Hebrew word "geah" is used to describe a state of pride or arrogance. It often conveys a sense of self-exaltation or an inflated sense of one's own importance. In the biblical context, it is typically used in a negative sense, warning against the dangers of pride and the moral and spiritual pitfalls associated with it. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, humility was highly valued, and pride was seen as a vice that led to downfall and destruction. The biblical narrative often contrasts the proud with the humble, emphasizing that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble (Proverbs 3:34). The cultural context of the ancient Near East also viewed pride as a dangerous trait, often leading to conflict and divine retribution.
