loftiness
| Root | גאה (g-ʾ-h) |
| Core Meanings | to rise, to be high, to exalt oneself, to be lofty |
| Semantic Range | loftiness, exaltation, majesty, pride, haughtiness, swelling elevation (literal or figurative) |
| Conceptual Significance | גַּאֲוָה can denote either divine majesty (rightful exaltation) or human pride (self-exalting arrogance). The term reflects the biblical tension between YHWH’s rightful height above creation and humanity’s improper self-elevation. |
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew noun, common feminine singular absolute (HNcfsa); abstract noun formed from the verbal root גאה, expressing a quality or state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גַּאֲוָה derives from the root גאה, meaning "to rise" or "to be high," conveying the idea of elevated height that becomes pride or majesty. Rendering it as "loftiness" preserves the vertical metaphor of height inherent in the root while reflecting the feminine singular absolute form indicated by the morphology. |
