Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀναλαμβάνω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words related to lifting or taking up, such as נָשָׂא (nasa, Strong's Hebrew 5375), which means "to lift, carry, take." This Hebrew term is often used in the Old Testament to describe the act of lifting or bearing, and it shares thematic similarities with the Greek ἀναλαμβάνω in terms of elevation and ascension. Usage: The verb ἀναλαμβάνω is used in the New Testament to describe the action of taking something up or receiving it, often with a sense of elevation or ascension. It is used both in literal and metaphorical contexts. Context: The Greek verb ἀναλαμβάνω appears in several key passages in the New Testament, often conveying the idea of taking something up or receiving it in a manner that implies elevation or ascension. This term is notably used in the context of Jesus' ascension into heaven. For example, in Acts 1:11, the angels speak to the disciples, saying, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven" (BSB). Here, ἀναλαμβάνω is used to describe Jesus being taken up into heaven, emphasizing His divine exaltation and the fulfillment of His earthly mission.
