It is used to describe the regard or honor given to individuals, actions, or attributes that are considered significant or worthy of respect in the biblical narrative.<br><br>1. <b>Esteem and Honor</b>: The Bible frequently uses the concept of being "highly esteemed" to describe individuals who are favored by God or respected by others. For example, in the Book of Daniel, the angel Gabriel addresses Daniel as "highly esteemed" (<a href="/daniel/9-23.htm">Daniel 9:23</a>), indicating God's special favor and the importance of Daniel's role as a prophet.<br><br>2. <b>Moral and Spiritual Values</b>: The term is also used to emphasize the importance of certain moral and spiritual values. In <a href="/luke/16-15.htm">Luke 16:15</a> , Jesus says, "You are the ones who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. What is highly valued among men is detestable in God’s sight." This passage highlights the contrast between worldly values and divine values, suggesting that what humans often esteem highly may not align with God's standards.<br><br>3. <b>Divine Favor</b>: Being "highly favored" is another expression found in the Bible, particularly in reference to Mary, the mother of Jesus. In <a href="/luke/1-28.htm">Luke 1:28</a> , the angel Gabriel greets Mary with the words, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you." This indicates a special selection and blessing from God, underscoring Mary's unique role in the divine plan of salvation.<br><br>4. <b>Leadership and Authority</b>: The concept of being highly regarded is also applied to leaders and those in positions of authority. In the Old Testament, figures such as King David and Solomon are often depicted as being highly esteemed by their people due to their leadership and wisdom. This esteem is seen as a reflection of their God-given authority and the fulfillment of their roles as leaders of Israel.<br><br>5. <b>Wisdom and Understanding</b>: Proverbs frequently associates wisdom with being highly valued. <a href="/proverbs/3-13.htm">Proverbs 3:13-15</a> states, "Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who acquires understanding, for she is more profitable than silver, and her gain is better than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire compares with her." Here, wisdom is portrayed as a highly desirable and esteemed quality, surpassing material wealth.<br><br>6. <b>Cultural and Historical Context</b>: In the cultural and historical context of the Bible, being highly esteemed often carried significant social implications. It could affect one's social standing, influence, and the ability to lead or make decisions within the community. The biblical narrative frequently reflects the tension between human esteem and divine approval, urging believers to seek God's favor above all.<br><br>In summary, the use of "highly" in the Bible underscores the importance of divine favor, moral integrity, and the pursuit of wisdom. It challenges believers to align their values with those esteemed by God, rather than merely seeking human approval.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>adv.</I>) In a high manner, or to a high degree; very much; as, highly esteemed.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/5090.htm"><span class="l">5090.
