Usage: The verb גָּבַהּ (gāḇah) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe physical height or loftiness, as well as metaphorical elevation, such as pride or arrogance. It can refer to both positive and negative connotations depending on the context, such as the exaltation of God or the haughtiness of individuals. Context: • Physical Height: The term גָּבַהּ is often used to describe physical height or elevation. For example, it can refer to the height of trees, mountains, or structures. In this sense, it conveys the idea of something being elevated or towering above others. • Metaphorical Loftiness: Beyond physical height, גָּבַהּ is frequently used metaphorically to describe loftiness in terms of pride or arrogance. This usage often carries a negative connotation, as seen in passages where human pride is condemned. For instance, in Isaiah 2:12, the prophet warns against the "lofty" and "haughty" who will be humbled by the Lord. • Divine Exaltation: In contrast to human arrogance, גָּבַהּ can also describe the exaltation of God, highlighting His supreme and unmatched status. This positive usage underscores the majesty and sovereignty of God, as seen in passages that speak of His exalted nature. • Examples in Scripture: • Isaiah 2:12 (BSB): "For the Day of the LORD of Hosts will come against all the proud and lofty, against all that is exalted—it will be humbled." • Psalm 131:1 (BSB): "My heart is not proud, O LORD, my eyes are not haughty. I do not aspire to great things or matters too lofty for me." • Job 35:5 (BSB): "Look to the heavens and see; gaze at the clouds high above you."
