It is used to describe the greatness of God, His works, or the stature of individuals or nations. The term emphasizes the idea of being elevated or exalted in status or power.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, greatness was often associated with divine favor and blessing. The concept of "gadel" would have been understood in the context of God's covenant with Israel, where His greatness was demonstrated through acts of deliverance, provision, and guidance. The term also reflects the hierarchical nature of ancient Near Eastern societies, where kings and leaders were often described in terms of their greatness.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1431.htm">gadal</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>becoming great, growing up<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>greater (1), grow richer (1), growing* (1), lustful* (1), stature (1).<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">גָּדֵל</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>participle masculine</b></font> or <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verbal adjective</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>becoming great, growing up</b></font>, <a href="/interlinear/genesis/26-13.htm">Genesis 26:13</a> (J) <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/2-26.htm">1 Samuel 2:26</a> (compare Dr) 2 Chronicles 17:12;
