Context: • The Hebrew term שָׁפָל (shaphal) is used in the Old Testament to convey the concept of being low or humble. It is often employed in a metaphorical sense to describe individuals or groups who are in a state of humility or subjugation. For example, in Isaiah 57:15, the term is used to describe those who are "contrite and lowly in spirit," indicating a spiritual humility that is pleasing to God: "For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: 'I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite.'"
