It can also refer to a metaphorical or spiritual exaltation, indicating a state of being lifted up or elevated in status or honor. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe the exalted position of God or Christ, as well as the spiritual elevation of believers.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, height was often associated with power, divinity, and authority. High places were frequently used for worship and sacrifices, as they were considered closer to the divine. In the biblical context, "hupsos" carries both the literal sense of physical elevation and the metaphorical sense of spiritual or moral superiority.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from hupsi (on high, aloft)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>height<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>height (2), high (3), high position (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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5311: ὕψος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὕψος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὕψους</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span>, from <span class="abbreviation">Aeschylus</span> and <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> down, the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">מָרום</span>, <span class="hebrew">קומָה</span>, <span class="hebrew">גֹּבַה</span>, etc., <span class="accented">height</span>: properly, of measure, <a href="/interlinear/ephesians/3-18.htm">Ephesians 3:18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/21-16.htm">Revelation 21:16</a>; of place, heaven (<span class="abbreviation">A.
