Strong's Lexicon anatolé: Rising, East, Dawn, Branch Original Word: ἀνατολή Word Origin: From the Greek verb ἀνατέλλω (anatellō), meaning "to rise" or "to spring up." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H4217 (מִזְרָח, mizrach): East, sunrise - H6780 (צֶמַח, tsemach): Branch, sprout Usage: The Greek word "anatolé" primarily refers to the act of rising, particularly in the context of celestial bodies like the sun. It is often used metaphorically to denote the east, as the direction of the sunrise, or the dawn, symbolizing new beginnings or hope. In some contexts, it is also used to refer to a "branch" or "shoot," indicating growth or emergence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient cultures, the east held significant symbolic meaning as the direction of the sunrise, representing light, life, and renewal. The concept of "rising" was often associated with divine intervention or the coming of a new era. In Jewish tradition, the "Branch" is a messianic title, referring to the anticipated Messiah who would rise from the line of David to restore Israel.
