Strong's Lexicon geh: Proud, haughty Original Word: גֵּה Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to rise or be proud Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of pride is ὑπερηφανία (hyperēphania), Strong's Greek 5243, which also denotes arrogance or haughtiness. Usage: The Hebrew word "geh" is used to describe a sense of pride or haughtiness. It often conveys a negative connotation, referring to an attitude of arrogance or self-exaltation that is contrary to the humble spirit encouraged in the Scriptures. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, humility was a valued trait, and pride was often seen as a precursor to downfall. The Hebrew Scriptures frequently warn against pride, emphasizing that it leads to destruction and is detestable to God. This reflects a broader Ancient Near Eastern understanding where humility before the divine was essential for maintaining favor and blessing.
