Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root קוּם (qum), meaning "to rise" or "to stand up."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for קוֹמְמִיּוּת, related concepts of elevation and uprightness can be found in Greek terms such as ἀνάστασις (anastasis, Strong's Greek 386), meaning "resurrection" or "rising up," and ὀρθός (orthos, Strong's Greek 3717), meaning "straight" or "upright." These terms similarly convey ideas of rising, standing, or being elevated, both physically and metaphorically. Usage: This word is used in the context of describing a state of uprightness or elevation, often metaphorically referring to a condition of dignity or freedom. Context: • קוֹמְמִיּוּת (qomemiyyut) appears in the Hebrew Bible in Leviticus 26:13. In this passage, God speaks to the Israelites, reminding them of their deliverance from Egypt and their subsequent elevation to a state of freedom and dignity. The term is used to convey the transformation from a state of bondage to one of uprightness and honor. The passage reads: "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, so that you would no longer be their slaves; I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk erect" (Leviticus 26:13, BSB). Here, "walk erect" is a metaphor for living in freedom and dignity, contrasting their previous condition of servitude.
