It is often used in contexts where triumph or victory is being described, particularly in relation to God's power and majesty. The term can also imply a sense of pride or haughtiness when used in a negative context.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of rising up or being exalted was closely associated with divine intervention and victory. The Israelites often attributed their military successes and deliverance from enemies to the exaltation of God. This reflects a worldview where God's sovereignty and power are central to understanding historical events and personal experiences.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span
