Strong's Lexicon anapheró: To bring up, to offer, to bear, to carry up Original Word: ἀναφέρω Word Origin: From the Greek words ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and φέρω (pheró, meaning "to carry" or "to bear"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of offering or bearing up is עָלָה (alah, Strong's H5927), which means "to go up" or "to ascend," frequently used in the context of sacrifices. Usage: The verb "anapheró" primarily means to carry or bring something up, often in the context of offering or presenting something to a higher authority or place. In the New Testament, it is frequently used in the context of offering sacrifices or bearing burdens. It conveys the idea of lifting something up, either physically or metaphorically, to a higher plane or purpose. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the act of offering sacrifices was a central aspect of religious practice. The term "anapheró" would have been understood in the context of bringing offerings to the gods or presenting gifts to those in authority. In the Jewish context, it aligns with the sacrificial system of the Old Testament, where offerings were brought to the temple as acts of worship and atonement.
