It is often used in contexts where something is being elevated physically or metaphorically. This can include the lifting up of a road or path, as well as the exaltation of a person or an idea.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of lifting up or exalting was significant both in physical and spiritual contexts. Roads and paths were often elevated to ensure safe and efficient travel, symbolizing preparation and readiness. Spiritually, the act of exalting was associated with worship and reverence, reflecting the high regard for God and His commandments.<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 weigh<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>weighed (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">סָלָא</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>weigh</b></font> (Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb069811.gif"> <em>pay promptly</em> Lane<sup>1398</sup>; compare Sabean <font class="hebrew2">סלא</font> <em>consecrate, devote</em> Hom<sup>ZMG xivi (1892), 531; Süd-Arab.
