It is used in various contexts, including physical movement upwards, such as climbing a mountain or ascending stairs, and metaphorical or spiritual ascension, such as going up to worship or offering sacrifices. The term can also imply bringing something up, such as presenting an offering to God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of ascending was often associated with worship and sacrifice. The Israelites would "go up" to Jerusalem, which was situated on a hill, for religious festivals and to offer sacrifices at the Temple. The act of offering sacrifices was seen as a way to ascend spiritually, drawing closer to God. The term also reflects the geographical and spiritual journey of the Israelites, as they moved from Egypt to the Promised Land, often described as a journey of ascent.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/5930.htm">olah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a burnt offering<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>burnt offering (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">עֲלָת</font> K<sup>§ 56</sup>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">α</font>)<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">β</font>) 2] </p><p style="sub1"> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>burnt-offering</b></font> (Biblical Hebrew <font class="hebrew2">עוֺלָה</font>;
