Strong's Lexicon zadon: Arrogance, pride, insolence Original Word: זָדוֹן Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: zadown Pronunciation: zah-DONE Phonetic Spelling: (zaw-done') Definition: Arrogance, pride, insolence Meaning: arrogance Word Origin: Derived from the root זָדָה (zādāh), meaning "to boil" or "to act proudly." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5243 (ὑπερηφανία, hyperēphania): Often translated as "pride" or "arrogance," this Greek term captures a similar sense of haughty self-exaltation. - G5187 (ὑπεραίρομαι, hyperairomai): Meaning "to exalt oneself," this term is used in the New Testament to describe an attitude of pride. Usage: The Hebrew word "zadon" primarily denotes a sense of arrogance or pride, often associated with a rebellious or insolent attitude. It is used in the Old Testament to describe a haughty spirit that defies God’s authority and wisdom. This term is frequently employed to highlight the moral and spiritual failings of individuals or nations who act with presumptuous pride, leading to their downfall. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, humility was a valued trait, and pride was seen as a serious moral failing. The concept of "zadon" reflects the broader biblical theme that pride precedes destruction (Proverbs 16:18). In the context of Israel's covenant relationship with God, arrogance was particularly egregious because it represented a rejection of divine authority and wisdom. The Israelites were repeatedly warned against the dangers of pride, both in their personal lives and as a nation.
