Strong's Lexicon
seeth: Lifting up, elevation, dignity, swelling, exaltation

Original Word: שְׂאֵת
Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: seeth
Pronunciation: seh-ayth
Phonetic Spelling: (seh-ayth')
Definition: Lifting up, elevation, dignity, swelling, exaltation
Meaning: an elevation, leprous scab, elation, cheerfulness, exaltation in rank, character

Word Origin: From the root verb נָשָׂא (nasa), meaning "to lift, carry, or bear."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "seeth," concepts of elevation and exaltation can be found in Greek words such as ὕψωσις (hypsōsis, Strong's G5311), meaning "exaltation" or "lifting up."

Usage: The Hebrew word "seeth" primarily conveys the idea of elevation or lifting up. It can refer to physical elevation, such as a swelling or a raised area, or metaphorically to dignity, honor, or exaltation. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often implies a state of being lifted up in status or spirit, or it can denote a physical swelling or blemish, particularly in the context of Levitical laws concerning skin diseases.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of being "lifted up" was significant both physically and metaphorically. Physical elevation could refer to geographical features or physical conditions, while metaphorical elevation often related to one's status before God or within the community. The Levitical laws, which include references to "seeth," were part of a broader system of purity and holiness that governed the Israelites' relationship with God and each other.
