Usage: The verb καταβιβάζω is used in contexts where something or someone is being brought down from a higher place to a lower one. It can be used both literally and metaphorically.

Context: The Greek verb καταβιβάζω appears in the New Testament to describe the action of bringing something or someone down. This term is often used in a physical sense, such as lowering a person or object from a higher position to a lower one. It can also carry a metaphorical meaning, implying a reduction in status or position.

In the Berean Standard Bible, καταβιβάζω is used in contexts that emphasize the act of descending or being brought down. For example, it might describe the lowering of a person from a height or the act of humbling someone by reducing their status or position. The term reflects a movement from a place of prominence or elevation to one of humility or submission.

The concept of being brought down is significant in biblical theology, often illustrating themes of humility, submission to God's will, or the consequences of pride. The act of lowering oneself or being lowered by God is seen as a pathway to grace and redemption, aligning with the biblical principle that those who humble themselves will be exalted.
