Strong's Lexicon gevah: Pride, haughtiness Original Word: גֵּוָה Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּוַע (gava), which means "to expire" or "to perish." 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 "gevah" is used to denote a sense of pride or haughtiness. It often carries a negative connotation, referring to an attitude of arrogance or self-exaltation that is contrary to the humility expected by God. In the biblical context, "gevah" is associated with a disposition that leads individuals away from reliance on God and towards self-reliance and self-glorification. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, humility was a valued trait, and pride was often seen as a precursor to downfall. The biblical narrative frequently warns against pride, emphasizing that it leads to separation from God and eventual judgment. The cultural context of the ancient Near East also viewed pride as a vice, often leading to conflict and societal disruption.
