SIBI-P1 H1343-02
lofty ones
| Root | גאה (g-ʾ-h) |
| Core Meanings | to rise, be high, be exalted, be lofty, show pride |
| Semantic Range | physically high, elevated; exalted in status; proud, arrogant, haughty; majestic (in reference to YHWH) |
| Conceptual Significance | The term captures the biblical tension between rightful exaltation and sinful pride. While human "lofty ones" often signify arrogance opposed by YHWH, the same root can describe YHWH’s true exalted majesty, highlighting the contrast between human self-exaltation and divine supremacy. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine plural absolute (from גֵּאֶה). No pronominal suffix; number and gender are masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective derives from the root גאה, conveying the idea of rising or being high. Rendered as "lofty ones," it preserves the imagery of elevation inherent in the root while reflecting the masculine plural absolute form (HAampa). This avoids flattening the term into a purely moral category and retains the vertical metaphor embedded in the Hebrew. |
