Strong's Lexicon illeg: To go up, ascend, climb, rise Original Word: עִלֵּג Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G305 (ἀναβαίνω, anabainō) - to go up, ascend - G399 (ἀναφέρω, anapherō) - to carry up, offer Usage: The Hebrew verb עָלָה (`alah`) primarily means "to go up" or "to ascend." It is used in various contexts, including physical movement upwards, such as climbing a mountain or ascending stairs, as well as metaphorical or spiritual ascension, such as going up to worship or being elevated in status. The term can also imply the act of offering sacrifices, as offerings were often "brought up" to the altar. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of ascending had both physical and spiritual connotations. Jerusalem, situated on a hill, was a place where people would "go up" to worship at the Temple. The act of ascending was often associated with drawing closer to God, both physically and spiritually. Sacrifices, which were central to Israelite worship, were described using this verb, emphasizing the idea of offerings being lifted up to God.
