Context: נְשָׂא (nesa') is an Aramaic verb found in the Old Testament, primarily in the books of Daniel and Ezra, which contain sections written in Aramaic. The term is used to describe the action of lifting or carrying, often in a physical sense but also in metaphorical contexts. For example, in Daniel 7:4, the term is used to describe the lifting of a lion, symbolizing the elevation or exaltation of a kingdom.
