Strong's Lexicon yahir: Proud, arrogant Original Word: יָהִיר Word Origin: Derived from the root יָהַר (yahar), which means "to be proud" or "to be arrogant." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with pride is ὑπερήφανος (hyperēphanos), Strong's Greek 5244, which also means proud or arrogant. Usage: The Hebrew word "yahir" is used to describe a person who is proud or arrogant. It conveys a sense of self-exaltation and haughtiness, often in opposition to humility and reliance on God. In the biblical context, pride is frequently depicted as a negative trait that leads to downfall and separation from God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, humility was highly valued, and pride was seen as a vice that distanced individuals from God and community. 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 that could lead to social and spiritual ruin.
