These Greek terms, like גֹּדֶל, convey the idea of greatness, majesty, and the impressive nature of God's attributes and works.

Usage: The term גֹּדֶל is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the greatness or magnitude of various entities, including God's works, His power, and the vastness of creation. It is often employed in contexts that emphasize the impressive or awe-inspiring nature of something.

Context: • גֹּדֶל (gōdel) appears in several passages throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, often highlighting the grandeur and majesty of God's creation and deeds. For instance, in Psalm 145:3, the psalmist declares, "Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; His greatness is unsearchable." Here, גֹּדֶל underscores the incomprehensible magnitude of God's greatness.
• In Deuteronomy 3:24, Moses acknowledges God's unparalleled power and mighty acts, saying, "O Lord GOD, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your strong hand." The use of גֹּדֶל in this context emphasizes the extraordinary nature of God's actions and His supreme authority.
• The term is also used in reference to the vastness of the heavens and the earth, as seen in passages like Isaiah 40:26, where the prophet calls on the people to lift their eyes and behold the stars, acknowledging the Creator's immense power and the magnitude of His creation.
• גֹּדֶל serves as a reminder of the divine attributes of God, encouraging believers to reflect on His infinite greatness and to respond with reverence and worship.
