353. analambanó

Strong's Lexicon

analambanó: To take up, to receive up, to lift up

Original Word: ἀναλαμβάνω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: analambanó
Pronunciation: an-al-am-ban'-o
Phonetic Spelling: (an-al-am-ban'-o)
Definition: To take up, to receive up, to lift up
Meaning: I take up, raise; I pick up, take on board; I carry off, lead away.

Word Origin: From the Greek words ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and λαμβάνω (lambanó, meaning "to take" or "to receive").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀναλαμβάνω, the concept of being "taken up" can be related to Hebrew words like עָלָה (alah, Strong's H5927), which means "to go up" or "to ascend."

Usage: The verb ἀναλαμβάνω primarily means "to take up" or "to lift up." In the New Testament, it is often used in the context of Jesus' ascension into heaven, signifying His being taken up from earth to the heavenly realm. It can also imply the act of taking something upon oneself or receiving something.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of being "taken up" or "ascended" was not uncommon, often associated with deities or heroes. In the Jewish context, the idea of ascension was linked to figures like Elijah, who was taken up into heaven. The ascension of Jesus, as described in the New Testament, holds significant theological importance, marking the completion of His earthly ministry and His exaltation to the right hand of the Father.
