Usage: The Hebrew verb "nasas" primarily conveys the idea of being lifted up or exalted. It can also imply being displayed prominently, often in a context where something is set up as a standard or signal. This term is used in various contexts, including the exaltation of individuals, objects, or even concepts, such as truth or righteousness.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the act of lifting something up often signified honor, reverence, or the establishment of a standard.

The concept of exaltation was deeply embedded in the religious and social practices of the time, reflecting the hierarchical nature of society and the divine order.
