Strong's Lexicon prosanabainó: To go up to, to ascend further Original Word: προσαναβαίνω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: prosanabainó Pronunciation: pros-an-ab-ah'-ee-no Phonetic Spelling: (pros-an-ab-ah'-ee-no) Definition: I go up to, come up to, go up further. Meaning: To go up to, to ascend towards, or to approach by going up. Word Origin: From the preposition πρός (pros, meaning "to" or "toward") and the verb ἀναβαίνω (anabainō, meaning "to go up" or "to ascend"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for προσαναβαίνω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew verbs that describe ascending or going up, such as: • עָלָה (alah, Strong's Hebrew 5927): To go up, ascend, climb. • נָשָׂא (nasa, Strong's Hebrew 5375): To lift, carry, take up. These Hebrew terms capture the essence of movement upwards, whether in a physical, spiritual, or metaphorical sense, similar to the Greek προσαναβαίνω. Usage: This verb is used in the context of ascending or going up towards a particular place or person. It implies movement with a purpose or direction, often in a physical or metaphorical sense. Context: The Greek verb προσαναβαίνω is a compound word that combines the directional preposition πρός with the action of ascending, ἀναβαίνω. This term is relatively rare in the New Testament and is used to describe the act of moving upwards towards a specific destination or person. The prefix πρός suggests a directed or intentional movement, often implying a relational or purposeful ascent. In the context of the New Testament, προσαναβαίνω can be understood both literally and metaphorically. Literally, it may describe the physical act of ascending a hill or mountain, or approaching a city or person by moving upwards. Metaphorically, it can imply a spiritual or moral ascent, such as drawing closer to God or elevating one's understanding or status. The use of προσαναβαίνω in the New Testament reflects the cultural and geographical context of the time, where travel often involved ascending hills or mountains, and where spiritual ascent was a common metaphor for drawing nearer to the divine.
