Strong's Lexicon alah or alath: To go up, ascend, climb, rise, bring up, offer Original Word: עֲלָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G305 (anabainō): to go up, ascend - G399 (anapherō): to bring up, offer Usage: The Hebrew verb "alah" primarily means "to go up" or "to ascend." It is used in various contexts, including physical movement upwards, such as climbing a mountain or ascending stairs, and metaphorical or spiritual ascension, such as going up to worship or offering sacrifices. The term can also imply bringing something up, such as presenting an offering to God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of ascending was often associated with worship and sacrifice. The Israelites would "go up" to Jerusalem, which was situated on a hill, for religious festivals and to offer sacrifices at the Temple. The act of offering sacrifices was seen as a way to ascend spiritually, drawing closer to God. The term also reflects the geographical and spiritual journey of the Israelites, as they moved from Egypt to the Promised Land, often described as a journey of ascent.
