It reflects an attitude of lowliness and modesty, often in relation to one's standing before God and others. In the biblical context, humility is not merely an outward demeanor but an inward disposition that acknowledges one's dependence on God and recognizes the value of others.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, humility was a valued trait, often associated with wisdom and righteousness. The Hebrew Scriptures frequently contrast humility with pride, emphasizing that God favors the humble and opposes the proud. This concept is deeply rooted in the covenant relationship between God and His people, where humility is seen as a response to God's sovereignty and grace.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>the same as <a href="/hebrew/6038.htm">anavah</a>, q.v.<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">עֲנָוָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>humility:</b></font> — <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/15-33.htm">Proverbs 15:33</a> 3t.;
