It often refers to the greatness of God, His works, or His attributes. The term conveys a sense of majesty and grandeur, emphasizing the supreme and unparalleled nature of the subject it describes.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, greatness was often associated with power, authority, and divinity. The use of "saggi" in the Hebrew Bible reflects the cultural understanding of God as the ultimate authority and the source of all greatness. This term would have resonated with the Israelites, who viewed God as their sovereign and protector, exalted above all other gods and nations.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7679.htm">saga</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>great<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>exalted (2).<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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">שַׂגִּיא</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>great</b></font>;
