Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root קוּם (qum), which means "to rise" or "to stand up."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2244 (ἡλικία • helikia): Refers to age, maturity, or stature, often used in the New Testament to denote physical or spiritual maturity.
• G3174 (μεγαλωσύνη • megalosyne): Denotes greatness or majesty, used to describe the grandeur or exalted status of God.
• G5247 (ὑπεροχή • hyperochē): Refers to superiority or preeminence, often used in the context of authority or rank.
• G5311 (ὕψος • hypsos): Means height or elevation, used both literally and metaphorically in the New Testament to describe physical height or exalted status.

These Greek terms, while not direct translations, share thematic connections with the Hebrew concept of "qomah" in their respective contexts, emphasizing stature, greatness, and elevation.

Usage: The word "qomah" appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often describing the height of people, structures, or objects. It is used both literally and metaphorically to convey the concept of stature or prominence.

Context: • The term קוֹמָה (qomah) is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote physical height or stature. It is often employed in descriptions of individuals, such as in 1 Samuel 16:7, where God instructs Samuel not to consider Eliab's appearance or height, for God looks at the heart. In Ezekiel 31:3, the word is used metaphorically to describe the towering stature of the Assyrian empire, likened to a cedar in Lebanon with beautiful branches and a forest-like canopy.
• In the context of structures, "qomah" can describe the height of buildings or walls, as seen in 1 Kings 6:2, where the dimensions of Solomon's temple are given, including its height.
• The term also appears in poetic and prophetic literature, where it can symbolize pride or loftiness, as in Isaiah 2:11, where the haughty looks of man are brought low, and the LORD alone is exalted.
• Overall, "qomah" serves as a versatile term in the Hebrew Bible, illustrating both literal and figurative concepts of height and stature.
