Strong's Lexicon Giddalti: I have magnified; I have made great Original Word: גִּדַּלְתִּי Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּדַל (gadal), meaning "to grow" or "to become great." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for the concept of making great or magnifying is μεγαλύνω (megalynō), Strong's Greek #3170, which carries a similar meaning of enlarging or exalting. Usage: The Hebrew verb גִּדַּלְתִּי (Giddalti) is a first-person singular perfect form, indicating a completed action by the speaker. It is often used in contexts where someone is expressing the act of making something or someone great, elevating in status, or increasing in size or importance. This term can be used both in a literal sense, such as growing in size, and in a metaphorical sense, such as increasing in honor or influence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of greatness was often associated with divine favor and blessing. The act of magnifying or making great was not only a physical or social elevation but also carried spiritual significance. The Hebrew people understood greatness as something that could be bestowed by God, and thus, the use of גִּדַּלְתִּי often implies an acknowledgment of divine intervention or blessing.
