It can refer to a low geographical location, such as a valley, or to a humble or abased social or spiritual condition. The term often conveys the idea of humility or being brought low, either by circumstances or by divine intervention.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, humility was a valued trait, often associated with righteousness and favor in the eyes of God. The concept of being "low" or "humble" was not only a physical description but also a spiritual posture. The Israelites understood that God often exalted the humble and brought down the proud, a theme prevalent throughout the Hebrew Scriptures.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/8213.htm">shaphel</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be low<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>humble (1), humbled (2), subdue (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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>abase, humble, put down, subdue <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/8213.htm">shaphel</a> -- abase, humble, put down, subdue. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/8213.htm">shaphel</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>הַשְׁפֵּ֖לְתְּ השפלת יְהַשְׁפִּֽל׃ יהשפל׃ לְהַשְׁפָּלָֽה׃ להשפלה׃ מַשְׁפִּֽיל׃ משפיל׃ haš·pê·lət hashPelet hašpêlət lə·haš·pā·lāh lehashpaLah ləhašpālāh maš·pîl mashPil mašpîl yə·haš·pil yehashPil yəhašpil<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/daniel/4-37.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 4:37</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/4.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">בְּגֵוָ֔ה יָכִ֖ל <b> לְהַשְׁפָּלָֽה׃ </b> פ </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/4.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> and He is able <span class="itali">to humble</span> those who<br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/4.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> in pride he is able <span class="itali">to abase.</span><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/4-37.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> pride is able <span class="itali">to humble</span><p><b><a href="/text/daniel/5-19.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 5:19</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/5.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">צָבֵ֖א הֲוָ֥ה <b> מַשְׁפִּֽיל׃ </b> </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/5.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> and whomever he wished <span class="itali">he humbled.</span><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/5-19.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> wished he <span class="itali">humbled</span><p><b><a href="/text/daniel/5-22.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 5:22</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/5.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">בֵּלְשַׁאצַּ֔ר לָ֥א <b> הַשְׁפֵּ֖לְתְּ </b> לִבְבָ֑ךְ כָּל־</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/5.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> Belshazzar, <span class="itali">have not humbled</span> your heart,<br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/5.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> hast not <span class="itali">humbled</span> thine heart,<br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/5-22.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> Belshazzar not <span class="itali">humbled</span> your heart all<p><b><a href="/text/daniel/7-24.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 7:24</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/7.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">וּתְלָתָ֥ה מַלְכִ֖ין <b> יְהַשְׁפִּֽל׃ </b> </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/7.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> from the previous ones <span class="itali">and will subdue</span> three<br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/7.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> the first, <span class="itali">and he shall subdue</span> three<br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/7-24.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> three kings <span class="itali">and will subdue</span><p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8214.htm">4 Occurrences</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8214.htm">Strong's Hebrew 8214<br>4 Occurrences</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/hashpelet_8214.htm">haš·pê·lət — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/lehashpalah_8214.htm">lə·haš·pā·lāh — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/mashpil_8214.htm">maš·pîl — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/yehashpil_8214.htm">yə·haš·pil — 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';
