Strong's Lexicon hupsóma: Height, exalted place, high thing Original Word: ὕψωμα Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ὑψόω (hupsoō), meaning "to lift up" or "to exalt." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with similar concepts is בָּמָה (bamah), which also refers to high places or elevated sites, frequently used in the context of worship. Usage: In the New Testament, "hupsóma" is used to denote a physical or metaphorical height or elevated place. It can refer to something that is physically high or to concepts or entities that are exalted or elevated in status or importance. The term is often used metaphorically to describe spiritual or intellectual barriers that stand against the knowledge of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, heights and elevated places were often associated with divine presence or power. Temples and altars were frequently built on high places, symbolizing closeness to the divine. In a Jewish context, high places were sometimes associated with idolatrous worship, as seen in the Old Testament. The New Testament usage of "hupsóma" often reflects a spiritualized understanding of these concepts, emphasizing the need to overcome spiritual barriers.
