Strong's Lexicon tachti: Lower, lowest, beneath Original Word: תַּחְתִּי Word Origin: Derived from the root תַּחַת (tachath), meaning "under" or "beneath." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2736 (katō): Meaning "below" or "beneath," used in similar contexts in the New Testament to describe lower positions or places. Usage: The Hebrew word "tachti" is used to describe something that is lower or beneath another object or position. It often refers to physical locations, such as the lower parts of a structure or the earth. In a metaphorical sense, it can denote a position of humility or subordination. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, spatial orientation was significant in understanding one's place in the world and in relation to God. The concept of "lower" or "beneath" often carried connotations of humility, servitude, or even disgrace, depending on the context. The Israelites, living in a land with varied topography, would have been familiar with the practical implications of "lower" regions, such as valleys or the depths of the earth.
