In a biblical context, it often refers to a higher place, either physically or metaphorically, such as a higher spiritual realm or status.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of "higher" or "upper" often carried connotations of superiority, both in terms of physical elevation and social or spiritual status. The Greeks, like many ancient cultures, associated the heavens with the divine and the elevated with the noble or superior. This cultural understanding would have influenced the use of "anóterikos" in biblical texts, where it could denote not only physical height but also spiritual elevation or authority.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/511.htm">anóteros</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>upper<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>upper (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 510: ἀνωτερικός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀνωτερικός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀνωτερικη</span>, <span class="greek2">ἀνωτερικον</span> (<span class="greek2">ἀνώτερος</span>), <span class="accented">upper</span>: <span class="greek2">τά</span> <span class="greek2">ἀνωτερικά</span> <span class="greek2">μέρη</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/19-1.htm">Acts 19:1</a> (i. e. the part of Asia Minor more remote from the Mediterranean, farther east).
