Strong's Lexicon ga'own: Pride, majesty, exaltation, arrogance Original Word: גָּאוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּאָה (ga'ah), meaning "to rise" or "to be exalted." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5243 (huperephania): Pride, arrogance - G1391 (doxa): Glory, majesty Usage: The Hebrew word "ga'own" primarily denotes a sense of majesty or exaltation, often used to describe the splendor and grandeur of God. It can also refer to human pride or arrogance, particularly when it leads to self-exaltation against God. The term is used both positively, in the context of God's majesty, and negatively, in the context of human pride. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "ga'own" was closely tied to the understanding of God's sovereignty and majesty. The Israelites recognized God's "ga'own" as a reflection of His supreme authority and power over creation. Conversely, human "ga'own" was often viewed as a dangerous trait, leading to rebellion against God and resulting in divine judgment. The tension between divine majesty and human pride is a recurring theme in the Hebrew Scriptures.
