Strong's Lexicon gaah: To rise up, to be exalted, to triumph Original Word: גָּאָה Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: ga'ah Pronunciation: gah-ah Phonetic Spelling: (gaw-aw') Definition: To rise up, to be exalted, to triumph Meaning: to mount up, to rise, be majestic Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "gaah," the concept of exaltation and triumph can be found in Greek words such as "ὑψόω" (hypsoō - Strong's Greek 5312), meaning to lift up or exalt. Usage: The Hebrew verb "gaah" primarily conveys the idea of rising up or being exalted. It is often used in contexts where triumph or victory is being described, particularly in relation to God's power and majesty. The term can also imply a sense of pride or haughtiness when used in a negative context. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of rising up or being exalted was closely associated with divine intervention and victory. The Israelites often attributed their military successes and deliverance from enemies to the exaltation of God. This reflects a worldview where God's sovereignty and power are central to understanding historical events and personal experiences.
