Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is ὑψόω (hypsoō), which also means to lift up or exalt. This term is used in the New Testament, particularly in reference to the exaltation of Christ (e.g., John 3:14, Philippians 2:9).

Usage: The Hebrew verb "nasas" primarily conveys the idea of being lifted up or exalted. It is often used in contexts where something or someone is elevated, either physically or metaphorically. This can refer to the lifting up of banners, the exaltation of individuals, or the raising of objects.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the act of lifting up or exalting was significant both in religious and social contexts. Banners were lifted during battles as a rallying point for troops, and individuals were exalted in positions of leadership or honor. The concept of being lifted up also has theological implications, as it is often associated with divine favor and blessing.
