lofty, exalted, high (adjective with conjunction, describing elevation or height)
An adjective denoting loftiness or height, appearing in Ezekiel 17:22 describing the mountain where God will plant a cedar sprig. The passage piles up terms for elevation: 'high and lofty mountain,' emphasizing the mountain's prominence. This is Mount Zion, presented in the prophetic vision as the highest and most exalted place where God establishes his kingdom. The term conveys both physical elevation and metaphorical exaltation—the mountain is both tall and supremely important.
Senses
1. sense 1 — In Ezekiel 17:22, this intensifies the description of the mountain where God will plant the messianic cedar—it is both 'high' (gaboah) and 'lofty' (talul), doubly emphasizing its elevation. The multilingual evidence shows translations opting for 'lofty,' 'elevated,' or 'high,' though the domain assignment to 'Names' appears questionable—this is better understood as a descriptive adjective for the mountain's height and significance. 1×
