STRONGS NT 5312: ὑψόω

ὑψόω, ὑψῶ; future ὑψώσω; 1 aorist ὕψωσα; passive, 1 aorist ὑψωθην; 1 future ὑψωθήσομαι; (ὕψος); (Batr. 81; Hippocrates, others); the Sept. very often for רוּם, also for גָּבַהּ, נָשָׂא, גָּדַל, etc.; to lift up on high, to exalt, (Vulg.exalto): τινα or τί, properly, of place, John 3:14{a}; used of the elevation of Jesus on the cross, John 3:14{b}; ; with ἐκ τῆς γῆς added, to remove from (literally, out of) the earth by crucifixion (ὑψοῦν τινα followed by ἐκ, Psalm 9:14), John 12:32 (the Evangelist himself interprets the word of the lifting up upon the cross, but a careful comparison of John 8:28 and John 12:32 renders it probable that Jesus spoke of the heavenly exaltation which he was to attain by the crucifixion (cf. John 12:23ff, John 13:31ff, Luke 24:26), and employed the Aramaic word רוּם, the ambiguity of which allowed it to be understood of the crucifixion; cf. Bleek, Beiträge zur Evangelienkritik, p. 231f; (the 'lifting up' includes death and the victory over death; the passion itself is regarded as a glorification; cf. Westcott at the passage)); τινα ἕως τοῦ οὐρανοῦ (opposed to καταβιβάζειν (or καταβαίνειν ἕως ᾅδου), metaphorically, to raise to the very summit of opulence and prosperity, passive, Matthew 11:23; Luke 10:15 (others understood exaltation in privilege as referred to in these passages (see Matthew 11:21)); simply τινα, to exalt, to raise to dignity, honor, and happiness: Luke 1:52 (where opposed to ταπεινῷ); Acts 13:17; to that state of mind which ought to characterize a Christian, 2 Corinthians 11:7; to raise the spirits by the blessings of salvation, James 4:10; 1 Peter 5:6; ἐμαυτόν, to exalt oneself (with haughtiness and empty pride) (opposed to ταπεινῷ), Matthew 23:12; Luke 14:11; Luke 18:14; — in these same passages ὑψωθήσεται occurs, he shall be raised to honor. By a union of the literal and the tropical senses God is said ὑψῶσαι Christ τῇ δεξιά αὐτοῦ, Acts 5:31; passive, Acts 2:33; the dative in this phrase, judged according to Greek usage, hardly bears any other meaning than with (by means of) his right hand (his power) (R. V. text); but the context forbids it to denote anything except at (to) the right hand of God (so R. V. marginal reading); hence, the opinion of those has great probability who regard Peter's phrase as formed on the model of the Aramaean לְיָמִין; cf. Bleek, Einl. in das N. T. edition 1, p. 346 (but see Winer's Grammar, 214 (201), 215 (202); Meyer at the passage Compare: ὑπερυψόω.)

Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from ὕψος (hypsos), meaning "height" or "elevation."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H7311 רוּם (rum): To be high, to rise, to be exalted. This Hebrew verb shares a similar range of meanings with ὑψόω, often used in the Old Testament to describe physical elevation or the exaltation of God and individuals.

• H5375 נָשָׂא (nasa): To lift, to carry, to take. This verb is frequently used in the context of lifting up one's eyes or hands, as well as in the metaphorical sense of bearing or forgiving.

These entries reflect the multifaceted use of ὑψόω in the New Testament, encompassing both literal and metaphorical dimensions of lifting up and exaltation, with significant theological implications for understanding the nature of Christ's work and the believer's relationship with God.

Usage: The verb ὑψόω is used in the New Testament to describe both physical elevation and metaphorical exaltation. It can refer to the literal act of lifting something up or to the figurative act of elevating someone in status or honor.

Context: The Greek verb ὑψόω appears in various contexts within the New Testament, often carrying significant theological implications. It is used to describe both the physical act of lifting up and the spiritual or metaphorical act of exalting.

• Physical Elevation: In John 3:14, Jesus refers to the lifting up of the serpent in the wilderness as a foreshadowing of His own crucifixion: "Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up." Here, ὑψόω is used to describe the physical act of raising the serpent on a pole, which parallels the crucifixion of Christ.

• Exaltation of Christ: The term is also used to describe the exaltation of Jesus after His resurrection and ascension. In Philippians 2:9, Paul writes, "Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above all names." This usage highlights the divine act of elevating Jesus to a position of supreme honor and authority.

• Spiritual Implications: The concept of being lifted up is also applied to believers. In James 4:10, it is written, "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you." This indicates a spiritual principle where humility before God leads to exaltation by Him.

• Judgment and Humility: The verb is used in contexts that emphasize the reversal of human pride and the exaltation of the humble. In Luke 14:11, Jesus teaches, "For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted." This reflects a recurring biblical theme where God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.
