Topical Bible: Hight

Topical Encyclopedia

The term "hight" is an archaic English word that means "named" or "called." It is not commonly used in modern translations of the Bible, including the Berean Standard Bible . However, understanding its usage and context can provide insight into biblical naming conventions and the significance of names in Scripture.

Biblical Context and Usage

In the context of the Bible, names hold significant meaning and often reflect the character, destiny, or role of individuals. While the specific term "hight" does not appear in the BSB, the concept of naming is prevalent throughout the Scriptures. Names are often given by God or changed to reflect a new identity or mission. For example, Abram's name was changed to Abraham, meaning "father of many nations," to signify the covenant God made with him (Genesis 17:5: "No longer will you be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations").

Significance of Names in the Bible

1. Divine Naming: In the Bible, God often names individuals to signify their purpose or His promise. For instance, Jesus was named by divine instruction, as the angel told Joseph, "She will give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21).

2. Name Changes: A change of name in the Bible often indicates a transformation or new phase in a person's life. Jacob, whose name means "supplanter," was renamed Israel, meaning "he struggles with God," after wrestling with the angel (Genesis 32:28: "Then the man said, 'Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men, and you have prevailed'").

3. Prophetic Names: Some names in the Bible are prophetic, revealing God's plans or the future of the individual. Isaiah's sons, for example, were given names with prophetic significance (Isaiah 7:3, 8:3).

4. Cultural and Historical Context: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, names were more than mere labels; they were imbued with meaning and power. This cultural understanding is reflected in the biblical narrative, where names often encapsulate the essence of a person's identity or mission.

Theological Implications

From a theological perspective, the act of naming in the Bible underscores God's sovereignty and intimate involvement in the lives of His people. It reflects His authority to define identity and purpose. The significance of names also points to the relational aspect of God's covenant with humanity, as seen in the naming of His chosen people and the fulfillment of His promises through them.

Conclusion

While the term "hight" itself is not used in the Berean Standard Bible, the concept it represents is deeply embedded in the biblical narrative. Understanding the importance of names in Scripture enriches our comprehension of God's interaction with His creation and His unfolding plan of redemption.
