Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G522 (ἀγαλλιάω • agalliaō): To exult, rejoice greatly. While this Greek term primarily conveys a sense of joy and exultation, it can also imply a form of boasting or pride in certain contexts. • G4640 (σπαταλάω • spatalaō): To live luxuriously, to act wantonly. This Greek term is associated with indulgence and a lack of restraint, often linked to prideful or arrogant behavior. These Greek entries provide a New Testament perspective on similar themes of pride and boastfulness, illustrating the continuity of these concepts across the biblical canon. Usage: The verb פוּשׁ (pûsh) is used in the context of spreading out or acting with pride. It conveys a sense of expansion or boasting, often associated with a display of arrogance or self-exaltation. Context: The Hebrew verb פוּשׁ (pûsh) appears in the Old Testament with the primary meaning of spreading or acting proudly. This term is used to describe actions that involve a sense of expansion or self-aggrandizement. The root is associated with behaviors that reflect pride or boastfulness, often in a negative context. The usage of פוּשׁ can be seen in various passages where individuals or groups exhibit prideful behavior, leading to consequences or divine judgment. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, acting proudly is often condemned, as it reflects a heart that is not aligned with humility before God. The act of spreading, in a metaphorical sense, can also imply the dissemination of influence or ideas, which may be done with an attitude of superiority or self-importance. The concept of pride is a recurring theme in biblical literature, where humility is valued, and pride is seen as a precursor to downfall. The verb פוּשׁ captures this dynamic, illustrating the tension between human ambition and divine expectation.
