Strong's Lexicon gedullah: Greatness Original Word: גִּדוּלָה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: gduwlah Pronunciation: guh-doo-LAH Phonetic Spelling: (ghed-oo-law') Definition: Greatness Meaning: greatness, mighty acts Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּדַל (gadal), which means "to grow," "to become great," or "to magnify." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is "μεγαλειότης" (megalaiotēs), which also denotes greatness or majesty. Usage: The term "gedullah" refers to the concept of greatness, majesty, or magnificence. It is often used to describe the greatness of God, His works, or His attributes. The word conveys a sense of grandeur and exaltation, emphasizing the supreme and unparalleled nature of God's character and deeds. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, greatness was often associated with kingship, power, and divine attributes. The Hebrew understanding of greatness, as reflected in the Bible, is deeply rooted in the character and actions of God. Unlike human greatness, which can be fleeting and self-centered, biblical greatness is eternal and rooted in righteousness, justice, and mercy. The Israelites recognized God's greatness in creation, deliverance, and covenantal faithfulness.
