Gabah as adjective describes what is high, tall, or elevated. It is used for the height of men (Saul was 'a head taller' — 1 Samuel 10:23), the height of trees (Ezekiel 31:3), and figuratively for arrogance and pride. It also describes the exalted nature of God's position.
The adjective gabah helps distinguish appropriate elevation (God is high and lifted up) from inappropriate elevation (the proud human heart). Isaiah's vision of the Lord 'high and exalted' (Isaiah 6:1) uses a synonym but captures the same theology — God's height produces awe, worship, and the prophet's confession of unworthiness. Tall trees (Ezekiel 31) become symbols of arrogant empires that God cuts down. Only the humble are truly elevated because they share in God's exaltation rather than competing with it.
