Strong's Lexicon huperanó: Above, beyond, over Original Word: ὑπεράνω Word Origin: From the Greek words ὑπέρ (hyper, meaning "above" or "beyond") and ἄνω (ano, meaning "up" or "above"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "huperanó," the concept of being "above" or "exalted" is often expressed in Hebrew with words like עָלָה (alah, Strong's H5927) meaning "to go up" or "ascend," and רוּם (rum, Strong's H7311) meaning "to be high" or "exalted." Usage: The Greek preposition "huperanó" is used to denote a position that is above or beyond something else. It often conveys a sense of superiority or transcendence in terms of position, authority, or quality. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the exalted position of Christ and the surpassing greatness of God's love and power. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, hierarchical structures were prevalent, and the concept of being "above" or "superior" was well understood in terms of social status, authority, and divinity. The use of "huperanó" in the New Testament reflects this cultural understanding, emphasizing the supreme authority and exalted nature of Christ in contrast to earthly powers and authorities.
