Humble

Exodus 10:1-4 (Verse 3, humble= to depress, abase; Old Testament study of

the word anah means to humble which refers to what one might do to one's
enemies but also what one does to oneself as a spiritual practice (afflict your
souls on the Day of Atonement, Leviticus 16:29, 31; compare Psalms 35:13) or
what God uses to bring about repentance (Deuteronomy 8:2-3) (Jews For Jesus,
March 1996, vol. 5, page 4).
Leviticus 26:14-15, 41 (Verse 41, Old Testament study of the word kana which
implies submission to another's will, as opposed to dominion to one's own. This
word is used in military contexts to speak of a king subjugating others. It is used
often in 2 Chronicles to describe those kings who did not humble themselves
before God (2 Chronicles 33:23; 34:27; 36:12; also 1 Kings 21:29). Notice that the
king of Israel must submit to a greater king, God. Humility requires submission
before God, and this is as necessary for leaders as it is for anyone else. In fact, one
measure of a person's leadership will be: did he or she submit to God? It is also a
measure of a people: 2 Chronicles 7:14 required Israel to kana, to submit to God
before it could experience blessings) (Jews For Jesus, page 4).

Psalm 113 (Verse 6, OT word study of shaphel which contrasts a high position
with lowliness. God's enemies will be bought low, others will be raised.
Belshazzar did not make himself low or humble himself in Daniel 5:22. Shaphel
also speaks of God's descent to our own condition. There is a certain overlap here

with the word anah. Centuries before the Incarnation, the psalmist wrote that God
'stoops down,' that is, brings Himself low, to look at heaven and earth. In Psalm
18:35, God (using anah ) humbles Himself to make King David great. The idea of
God's lowliness is even more pronounced in Isaiah 57:15. In this verse, God says
that He lives in a high and holy place, but also with the person who 'shaphels'
himself, thus implying that God 'shaphels' Himself as well. The theology of God's
lowering Himself goes far beyond a particular word or two: we see it in His
dwelling among Israel, in His willingness to forgive sin and ultimately in the
Incarnation) (Jews For Jesus, page 4).
