Word Origin: From the Greek words ὑπέρ (huper, meaning "above" or "beyond") and βάλλω (ballo, meaning "to throw" or "to cast"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent to "huperballó," the concept of surpassing or exceeding can be found in Hebrew words like גָּבַר (gabar, Strong's 1396), which means "to be strong" or "to prevail," and רַב (rab, Strong's 7227), meaning "great" or "many." Usage: The Greek verb "huperballó" conveys the idea of surpassing or exceeding a standard or measure. It is often used to describe something that goes beyond the ordinary or expected limits. In the New Testament, it is frequently used to express the surpassing greatness or abundance of God's power, grace, or love. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of surpassing or exceeding was often associated with competition and achievement, whether in athletic contests, rhetoric, or other areas of life. The use of "huperballó" in the New Testament reflects a cultural understanding of excellence and abundance, but it is applied in a spiritual context to describe the immeasurable and incomparable nature of God's attributes and actions.
