Strong's Lexicon gabhuth: Height, exaltation, pride Original Word: גַּבְהוּת Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּבַהּ (gabhah), meaning "to be high" or "to be exalted." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and New Testament for concepts related to pride or exaltation is ὕψος (hypsos), Strong's Greek #5311, which also means height or exaltation. Usage: The Hebrew word "gabhuth" primarily denotes a sense of height or exaltation. It can refer to physical height or metaphorically to pride or arrogance. In the biblical context, it often carries a negative connotation, warning against the dangers of pride and self-exaltation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, humility was a valued trait, and pride was often seen as a precursor to downfall. The biblical narrative frequently contrasts the humble with the proud, emphasizing that God exalts the humble and brings down the proud. This reflects a broader Near Eastern cultural understanding where kings and leaders were often warned against hubris.
