Strong's Lexicon ala: To go up, ascend, climb, rise Original Word: עָלָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G305 (ἀναβαίνω, anabainō) - to go up, ascend - G399 (ἀναφέρω, anapherō) - to carry up, offer up Usage: The Hebrew verb עָלָה (`ala`) 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 ascensions, such as going up to worship or offering sacrifices. The term can also imply an increase or elevation in status or condition. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of ascending was often associated with worship and drawing closer to God. The Temple in Jerusalem, situated on Mount Zion, required pilgrims to "go up" for festivals and sacrifices, symbolizing a spiritual ascent. The act of ascending was not only physical but also spiritual, representing a journey towards holiness and divine presence.
