It conveys the idea of raising someone to the highest possible status, often in a divine or spiritual context. This term is used to express the supreme exaltation of Jesus Christ by God the Father.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of exaltation was often associated with honor and status. Leaders, emperors, and deities were exalted through public ceremonies and monuments. In the Jewish context, exaltation was linked to God's sovereign action in raising individuals to positions of authority and blessing. The New Testament usage of "huperupsoó" reflects the early Christian understanding of Jesus' divine status and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>5251</b> <i>hyperypsóō</i> (from <a href="/greek/5228.htm">5228</a> <i>/hypér</i>, "beyond" and <a href="/greek/5312.htm">5312</a> <i>/hypsóō</i>, "elevate") – properly, elevate <i>beyond;</i> make exceedingly high, i.e. to a very high degree; greatly exalt, extol; exalt to the <i>highest place</i> (<i>A-S</i>); "elevate <i>exceedingly</i>" (Souter).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/5228.htm">huper</a> and <a href="/greek/5312.htm">hupsoó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to exalt beyond measure<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>highly exalted (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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5251: ὑπερυψόω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὑπερυψόω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὑπερυψῶ</span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ὑπερυψωσα</span>; (<span class="abbreviation">Ambrose</span><span class="latin">superexalto</span>); metaphorically, <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> <span class="accented">to exalt to the highest rank arid power, raise to supreme majesty</span>: <span class="greek2">τινα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/philippians/2-9.htm">Philippians 2:9</a>; passive, <a href="/interlinear/psalms/96-9.htm">Psalm 96:9</a><FOOTNOTE:10> (<BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Ps. 97:9>). <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> <span class="accented">to extol most highly</span>: Song of the Three etc. 28ff; <a href="/interlinear/daniel/3-34.htm">Daniel 3:34</a> (<a href="/interlinear/daniel/4-34.htm">Daniel 4:34</a>), <span class="manuref">Theod.</span>. <p><span class="emphasized">c.</span> passive, <span class="accented">to be lifted up with pride, exalted beyond measure; to carry oneself loftily</span>: <a href="/interlinear/psalms/36-35.htm">Psalm 36:35</a><FOOTNOTE:10> (<BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Ps. 37:35>).
