Strong's Lexicon gaah: To rise up, to be exalted, to triumph Original Word: גָּאָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "gaah," the concept of exaltation and triumph can be found in Greek words such as "ὑψόω" (hypsoō - Strong's G5312), meaning to lift up or exalt. Usage: The Hebrew verb "gaah" primarily conveys the idea of rising up or being exalted. It is often used in the context of triumph or victory, particularly in relation to God's actions or attributes. The term can also imply a sense of pride or arrogance when used in a negative context. In the Bible, "gaah" is frequently associated with God's majestic power and His ability to overcome His enemies. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of rising up or being exalted was closely tied to the idea of divine intervention and victory. The Israelites often viewed their successes and triumphs as direct results of God's intervention on their behalf. The term "gaah" reflects this cultural understanding, emphasizing God's sovereignty and His role as a divine warrior who leads His people to victory.
