Strong's Lexicon gevah: Pride, haughtiness Original Word: גֵּוָה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: gevah Pronunciation: gheh-vah' Phonetic Spelling: (gay-vaw') Definition: exaltation, arrogance Meaning: The term גֵּוָה (gevah) primarily denotes "exaltation" or "arrogance." It conveys a sense of pride or haughtiness, often in a negative context. Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּאָה (ga'ah), which means "to rise" or "to be exalted." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent that corresponds to the concept of גֵּוָה (gevah) is found in Strong's Greek Number G5196, ὑπερηφανία (hyperēphania), which also denotes arrogance or pride. This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe a similar attitude of self-exaltation that is contrary to the teachings of Christ, who exemplified humility and servanthood. Usage: The word גֵּוָה (gevah) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a state of pride or arrogance, typically in a manner that is condemned or warned against. It is associated with an attitude of self-exaltation that stands in opposition to humility and submission to God. Context: גֵּוָה (gevah) appears in the Hebrew Bible as a term that characterizes an attitude of pride or arrogance. This concept is often linked with the downfall or judgment of individuals or nations who elevate themselves above others or above God. The Bible consistently warns against such pride, emphasizing the virtue of humility. For instance, in Proverbs 16:18, the principle that "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall" is a thematic reflection of the consequences associated with גֵּוָה. The term is used to illustrate the moral and spiritual dangers of self-exaltation, urging believers to seek humility and reliance on God rather than their own strength or status.
