These Greek terms reflect similar themes of honor, glory, and reverence, illustrating the continuity of these concepts across the biblical texts. The use of הָדַר in the Hebrew Bible underscores the importance of recognizing and attributing honor and majesty, whether in the context of divine worship or human relationships.

Usage: The verb הָדַר (hādar) is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey concepts of majesty, honor, and pride. It can describe both the physical act of swelling or rising and the metaphorical elevation of status or esteem.

Context: • The root הָדַר (hādar) appears in various forms throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, often in contexts that emphasize the majesty and splendor of God or individuals. It is used to describe the honor and glory attributed to God, as well as the pride or elevated status of people or nations.
• In Leviticus 19:32, the term is used in the context of showing respect: "You are to rise in the presence of the elderly, honor the old, and fear your God. I am the LORD."
• In Isaiah 2:10, it is associated with the majesty of the LORD: "Go into the rocks, hide in the ground from the terror of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty."
• The term can also carry a negative connotation when referring to human pride or arrogance, as seen in the prophetic literature where nations or individuals are warned against haughtiness.
• The concept of honor and majesty is central to the understanding of הָדַר, reflecting both the divine attributes of God and the expected conduct of His people in showing respect and reverence.
