Strong's Lexicon exanistémi: To rise up, to stand up, to awaken Original Word: ἐξανίστημι Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἐξ (ex, meaning "out of" or "from") and ἀνίστημι (anistémi, meaning "to stand up" or "to rise"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of rising is קוּם (qum, Strong's H6965), which means "to arise" or "to stand up." Usage: The verb ἐξανίστημι (exanistémi) is used in the New Testament to describe the action of rising up or standing up, often in a physical sense. It can also imply awakening or coming into action. The term is used both literally, as in rising from a seated or lying position, and metaphorically, as in rising to a challenge or occasion. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the act of standing up was often associated with taking action or assuming a position of authority. In Jewish culture, rising up could also signify readiness to serve or to fulfill a duty. The concept of rising is deeply embedded in biblical narratives, symbolizing resurrection, renewal, and divine intervention.
