Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Aramaic root נבל (nbl), which is related to the concept of sinking or being low. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the Aramaic נְוָלוּ, the concept of being brought low or humbled can be found in several Greek terms used in the New Testament. These include: • ταπεινόω (tapeinoō) • to humble, to bring low (Strong's Greek 5013) • καταβαίνω (katabainō) • to go down, to descend (Strong's Greek 2597) • ταπείνωσις (tapeinōsis) • humiliation, abasement (Strong's Greek 5014) These Greek terms capture the essence of being humbled or brought low, similar to the Aramaic usage of נְוָלוּ. Usage: This term is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the context of describing a state of abasement or degradation. Context: The Aramaic word נְוָלוּ (nevālu) appears in the context of the Old Testament, particularly in the book of Daniel, which contains sections written in Aramaic. The term is used to describe a condition of being brought low, often in a metaphorical sense, indicating a fall from a position of honor or strength to one of humility or disgrace. This concept is consistent with the broader biblical theme of divine justice, where pride and self-exaltation are often met with humbling circumstances. The usage of נְוָלוּ reflects the theological perspective that God is sovereign over the affairs of humanity, and those who exalt themselves will ultimately be brought low. This aligns with the biblical narrative that emphasizes humility and the dangers of pride.
