Strong's Lexicon anagó: To lead up, to bring up, to set sail Original Word: ἀνάγω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and the verb ἄγω (ago, meaning "to lead" or "to bring"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "anagó," the concept of leading or bringing up can be related to Hebrew verbs such as עָלָה (alah, Strong's H5927), which means "to go up" or "to ascend." Usage: The verb "anagó" primarily means to lead or bring something or someone up to a higher place. In a nautical context, it is used to describe the action of setting sail or launching a ship. This term is often used in the New Testament to describe physical movement, particularly in the context of travel or transportation. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, travel by sea was a common means of transportation, especially in the Mediterranean region. The term "anagó" would have been familiar to those involved in maritime activities, such as sailors and merchants. The act of setting sail was a significant event, often requiring careful planning and favorable conditions. In a broader cultural sense, the concept of "leading up" or "bringing up" can also imply guidance or elevation to a higher state or position.
