Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew word גֵּה (geh) in the Strong's Concordance. However, the concept of pride and loftiness is addressed in the Greek New Testament with words such as ὑπερήφανος (huperēphanos, Strong's Greek 5244), which means proud or arrogant, and ὕψος (hupsos, Strong's Greek 5311), which refers to height or elevation. These Greek terms capture similar themes of pride and elevation found in the Hebrew usage of "geh."

Usage: The word appears in the context of describing something that is elevated or exalted, often used metaphorically to describe pride or arrogance.

Context: The Hebrew word גֵּה (geh) is a term that conveys the concept of height or elevation, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. It is derived from an unused root that implies rising or being high. In the Biblical context, "geh" is often associated with pride or loftiness, reflecting a state of being that is elevated above others, either physically or in terms of attitude.

The usage of "geh" in the Hebrew Bible is relatively rare, and it is typically found in poetic or prophetic literature where imagery of height and elevation is employed to convey deeper spiritual truths. The term can be used to describe the physical height of mountains or structures, but more commonly, it is used metaphorically to describe the pride or arrogance of individuals or nations. This metaphorical usage serves as a warning against the dangers of pride and the eventual downfall that comes with it, as seen in various prophetic writings.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the concept of pride and loftiness is addressed in several passages, emphasizing the Biblical theme that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. The word "geh" contributes to this theme by illustrating the contrast between human arrogance and divine humility.
