Strong's Lexicon gobah: Height, exaltation, pride Original Word: גֹּבַהּ Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּבַהּ (gābah), which means "to be high" or "to be exalted." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5308 (hypsēlos): Often used in the New Testament to denote height or exaltation, both physically and metaphorically. - G5244 (hyperēphanos): Refers to arrogance or pride, similar to the metaphorical use of "gobah." Usage: The Hebrew word "gobah" primarily denotes physical height or elevation. It can also metaphorically refer to pride or arrogance, indicating an elevated sense of self. In the biblical context, it often carries a negative connotation when associated with human pride, contrasting with the humility that God desires. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, physical height was often associated with strength and power. Kings and warriors were sometimes described in terms of their stature. However, the biblical narrative frequently warns against pride and self-exaltation, emphasizing that true exaltation comes from God alone. The Israelites were reminded that their strength and security were not in their own might but in their relationship with God.
