Strong's Lexicon gabahh: To be high, exalted, lofty, proud Original Word: גָּבַהּ Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: gabahh Pronunciation: gah-VAH Phonetic Spelling: (gaw-bah') Definition: To be high, exalted, lofty, proud Meaning: to soar, be lofty, to be haughty Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5308 (huperephanos): Often translated as "proud" or "arrogant," reflecting a similar concept of elevated self-view. - G5244 (hupselos): Meaning "high" or "lofty," used in both literal and metaphorical contexts. Usage: The Hebrew verb "gabahh" primarily conveys the idea of height or elevation, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. It is used to describe physical height, such as the height of a tree or a mountain, as well as metaphorical elevation, such as pride or arrogance. In the context of human behavior, "gabahh" often carries a negative connotation, referring to haughtiness or pride that is contrary to the humility expected by God. 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 ancient Near Eastern worldview where divine favor was associated with humility and obedience to divine will. Brown-Driver-Briggs גָּבַהּ verb be high, exalted (Late Hebrew id.
