Strong's Lexicon anabibazó: To bring up, to lead up, to raise Original Word: ἀναβιβάζω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and the verb βιβάζω (bibazó, meaning "to lift" or "to raise"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves verbs like עָלָה (alah, Strong's H5927), which means "to go up" or "to ascend." This Hebrew verb is frequently used in the Old Testament to describe physical ascents, such as going up to Jerusalem, or metaphorical ascents, such as rising in status or spiritual understanding. Usage: The verb ἀναβιβάζω (anabibazó) is used to describe the action of bringing or leading something or someone upwards. It can imply a physical movement to a higher place or a metaphorical elevation, such as raising one's status or understanding. In the New Testament, it is often used in contexts where individuals are brought up to a higher position or place, either literally or figuratively. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of being "brought up" or "raised" often carried connotations of honor and elevation in status. This could be seen in social, political, or religious contexts where individuals were elevated to positions of authority or honor. The use of ἀναβιβάζω in the New Testament reflects these cultural understandings, often in the context of spiritual elevation or enlightenment.
