Strong's Lexicon gaayon: Pride, Arrogance Original Word: גַּאֲיוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּאָה (ga'ah), meaning "to rise up" or "to be exalted." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of pride is ὑπερηφανία (hyperēphania), which also denotes arrogance or haughtiness. Usage: The term "gaayon" is used to describe a sense of pride or arrogance, often in a negative context. It conveys an attitude of self-exaltation and haughtiness, which is frequently condemned in the Hebrew Scriptures. The word is associated with a disposition that elevates oneself above others and disregards the humility that is valued in a relationship with God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, humility was a virtue highly esteemed, and pride was often seen as a precursor to downfall. The Hebrew Scriptures frequently warn against pride, emphasizing the importance of recognizing one's dependence on God. The cultural context of the ancient Near East also viewed pride as a vice that could lead to social and spiritual ruin.
