by-the-pride-of
Majestic self-exaltation, proud bearing, or overwhelming greatness; frequently denotes pride (in a negative ethical sense), grandeur or splendor (of God, nations, or nature), sometimes extending to the concrete aspect of adornment or prominent feature (e.g., of the Jordan's flood). It conveys both the concept of human pride or arrogance and the manifestation of majesty, especially in poetic or prophetic contexts.

SIBI-P1 Translation H1347-01
loftiness of
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in construct state ("loftiness of …"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גָּאוֹן derives from the root meaning "to rise, be exalted," and denotes the state or quality of loftiness—whether proud self-exaltation or majestic greatness. The construct singular form requires "of," yielding "loftiness of" to preserve both root sense and morphology. |
