Strong's Lexicon geeh: Proud, haughty, arrogant Original Word: גֵּאֶה Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: ge'eh Pronunciation: geh-eh Phonetic Spelling: (gay-eh') Definition: Proud, haughty, arrogant Meaning: lofty, arrogant Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּאָה (ga'ah), which means "to rise" or "to be exalted." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5244 (ὑπερήφανος, hyperēphanos): Meaning "proud" or "arrogant," used in the New Testament to describe those who are boastful or self-important. - G5187 (ὑψόω, hypsoō): Meaning "to exalt" or "to lift up," often used in a negative sense to describe self-exaltation. Usage: The Hebrew word "geeh" is used to describe a person or attitude characterized by pride or arrogance. It often conveys a sense of self-exaltation or an inflated view of one's own importance. In the biblical context, such pride is typically viewed negatively, as it stands in opposition to the humility that God desires from His people. 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 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 vice, often leading to conflict and divine retribution.
