It can refer to physical height or, more commonly, to a state of being elevated or exalted in power or status. In the biblical context, it is often associated with the majesty and power of God or the exalted status of certain individuals or nations.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, height and elevation were often associated with power and divinity. High places were frequently used for worship, and gods were often depicted as residing on mountains or in the heavens. The concept of exaltation was not only physical but also symbolic of authority and supremacy. In the Hebrew Bible, this idea is frequently applied to God, who is described as being exalted above all.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>eminence<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>choice (1), horns (2), peaks (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">תּוֺעָפָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>eminence</b></font>;
