Strong's Lexicon anerchomai: To go up, to ascend, to rise Original Word: ἀνέρχομαι Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀν- (an-, "up" or "again") and the verb ἔρχομαι (erchomai, "to come" or "to go"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is עָלָה (alah, Strong's H5927), which also means "to go up" or "to ascend." Usage: The verb ἀνέρχομαι is used in the New Testament to describe the action of going up or ascending. It often conveys a physical movement from a lower place to a higher one, such as ascending a mountain or going up to Jerusalem. In a metaphorical sense, it can also imply a rise in status or position. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the act of ascending often had significant cultural and religious connotations. Jerusalem, being situated on a hill, was frequently described as a place to which one "goes up." This physical ascent was also symbolic of spiritual elevation or drawing closer to God. Pilgrimages to Jerusalem for religious festivals were common, and the language of ascent was deeply embedded in Jewish religious practice.
