Strong's Lexicon qomemiyyuth: Uprightness, dignity, standing tall Original Word: קוֹמְמִיּוּת Word Origin: Derived from the root קוּם (qum), meaning "to rise" or "to stand up." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of "uprightness" or "standing tall" can be related to Greek terms such as ἀνάστασις (anastasis, Strong's G386), meaning "resurrection" or "rising up," which conveys a similar idea of being raised or restored. Usage: The term "qomemiyyuth" conveys a sense of uprightness or dignity, often associated with standing tall or being in a state of freedom and honor. It is used to describe a condition of being elevated or restored to a rightful position, both physically and metaphorically. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often implies a return to a state of divine favor or blessing. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of standing upright was not only a physical posture but also a metaphor for moral and spiritual integrity. The Israelites, having experienced periods of oppression and exile, would have understood "qomemiyyuth" as a powerful image of restoration and divine intervention. It reflects the hope of returning to a state of freedom and dignity, both as individuals and as a nation.
