Strong's Lexicon seeth: Lifting up, elevation, dignity, swelling, exaltation Original Word: שְׂאֵת Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: s'eth Pronunciation: seh-ayth Phonetic Spelling: (seh-ayth') Definition: an elevation, leprous scab, elation, cheerfulness, exaltation in rank, character Meaning: The term שְׂאֵת (se'eth) encompasses a range of meanings including an elevation, a leprous scab, elation, cheerfulness, and exaltation in rank or character. Word Origin: Derived from the root verb נָשָׂא (nasa), meaning "to lift, carry, take." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3799 (ophthalmos): While not a direct translation, this Greek term relates to sight or vision, which can metaphorically connect to the idea of being lifted up or elevated in perception. • G4762 (strepho): This term means "to turn" and can imply a change in position or status, akin to elevation or exaltation. • G5092 (time): This Greek word means "honor" or "value," corresponding to the concept of exaltation in rank or character found in שְׂאֵת (se'eth). In summary, שְׂאֵת (se'eth) is a multifaceted Hebrew term that captures the idea of elevation, whether it be physical, emotional, or social. Its usage in the Hebrew Bible reflects the diverse ways in which individuals and conditions can be lifted up or exalted. Usage: The word שְׂאֵת (se'eth) is used in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often to describe physical or metaphorical elevation. It can refer to a physical swelling or scab, particularly in the context of leprosy, as well as to a state of emotional or social upliftment. Context: • Physical Elevation: In Leviticus 13:2, שְׂאֵת (se'eth) is used to describe a swelling or scab on the skin, which is a potential sign of leprosy. The passage provides instructions for the priestly examination of such marks to determine ritual cleanliness or uncleanness: "When a man has a swelling or scab or bright spot on his skin that becomes an infectious skin disease, he must be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons who is a priest." • Emotional or Social Elevation: The term is also used metaphorically to describe a state of elation or exaltation. In Genesis 4:7, God speaks to Cain about his emotional state, using the term to imply a lifting up or improvement of his countenance: "If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you refuse to do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires you, but you must master it." • Exaltation in Rank or Character: שְׂאֵת (se'eth) can also refer to the exaltation of an individual in terms of rank or character, suggesting a lifting up in status or honor.
