This Greek term is used in the New Testament, particularly in the teachings of Jesus, such as in Matthew 23:12 (BSB): "For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew verb "takak" primarily conveys the action of subduing or humbling. It is used in contexts where an individual or group is brought into submission or made humble, often through divine intervention or judgment. The term can imply both physical subjugation and a more spiritual or moral humbling.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, the concept of subduing or humbling was significant both in military and spiritual contexts. Militarily, it referred to the conquest and control of enemy nations. Spiritually, it was associated with the humbling of individuals or nations before God, recognizing His sovereignty and authority. The Israelites understood that God could humble the proud and exalt the humble, a theme prevalent throughout the Old Testament.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>the same as <a href="/hebrew/8496.htm">tok</a>, q.v.<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>deceitful <p>From an unused root meaning to dissever, i.e. Crush -- deceitful. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>תְּכָכִ֣ים תככים tə·ḵā·ḵîm techaChim təḵāḵîm<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/proverbs/29-13.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Proverbs 29:13</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/proverbs/29.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">רָ֤שׁ וְאִ֣ישׁ <b> תְּכָכִ֣ים </b> נִפְגָּ֑שׁוּ מֵ֤אִיר־</span><br><a href="/kjvs/proverbs/29.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> The poor <span class="itali">and the deceitful</span> man<br><a href="/interlinear/proverbs/29-13.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> the poor man <span class="itali">and the deceitful</span> have gives<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8501.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8501.htm">Strong's Hebrew 8501<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/techachim_8501.htm">tə·ḵā·ḵîm — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/8500.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="8500"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="8500" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/8502.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="8502"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="8502" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
