dig´ni -tiz , dig´ni -ti (Hebrew mārōm , se'ēth , gedhullāh ): Rank or position, not nobility or austerity of personal character or bearing, is denoted by this word in its Old Testament occurrences (Genesis 49:3; Esther 6:3; Ecclesiastes 10:6; Habakkuk 1:7 ). In 2 Peter 2:10; Judges 1:8 , "dignities" (δόχαι , dóxai ) are angels, lofty spiritual beings, possible objects of blasphemy; compare the context in both passages.
