It is often used in contexts where something is physically moving downward or sinking. The term can also imply a metaphorical descent, such as a decline in status or condition.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of descending or going down often carried significant symbolic meaning. For example, descending into a valley or pit could symbolize entering a place of trial or humility. The physical geography of the ancient Near East, with its many hills and valleys, made the act of descending a common experience, often used metaphorically in Hebrew literature and scripture.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to descend<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>alighted (2), went through (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">צָנַח</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>descend</b></font> (meaning inferred from context);
