SIBI-P1 H1361-06
the One causing to rise high
| Root | גבה (g-b-h) |
| Core Meanings | height, loftiness, elevation, exaltation, pride |
| Semantic Range | to raise high, exalt, lift up, elevate, make lofty; figuratively to exalt in status; also connected with haughtiness or pride when describing attitude |
| Conceptual Significance | The root גבה expresses both physical elevation and metaphorical exaltation. When used of YHWH, it often highlights His sovereign power to raise up the lowly or exalt Himself above all. It also warns against human pride, contrasting rightful divine exaltation with improper human self-exaltation. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil participle, masculine singular, absolute. From the root גבה (g-b-h). The Hiphil stem conveys causation: "to cause to be high, to exalt." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form מַגְבִּיהַּ is a Hiphil masculine singular participle, expressing causative action: "causing to be high." Rendering it as "the One causing to rise high" preserves the root idea of height and elevation while reflecting the causative stem and masculine singular participial form. |
