Strong's Lexicon nesaq: Ascent, elevation Original Word: נֵסַק Word Origin: Derived from the root נָסַק (nasak), which means "to ascend" or "to go up." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of ascent is ἀνάβασις (anabasis), Strong's Greek 305, which also means "ascent" or "going up." Usage: The term "nesaq" is used to denote an ascent or a rising up. It can refer to a physical elevation or a metaphorical rise, such as in status or spiritual elevation. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often carries the connotation of moving towards something higher or more divine. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of ascent was significant both physically and spiritually. Pilgrimages to Jerusalem, which is situated on a hill, were considered ascents, and the Psalms of Ascent (Psalms 120-134) were sung by pilgrims on their journey. The idea of moving upwards also symbolized drawing closer to God, who was often associated with high places, such as Mount Sinai or the Temple Mount.
