It appears in various contexts throughout the Scriptures, each carrying its own significance.<br><br>1. <b>Geographical Context</b>: <br> &#183; The term "Upper" is frequently used to describe regions or areas that are elevated in comparison to others. For example, "Upper Egypt" refers to the southern part of ancient Egypt, which is upstream along the Nile River. This is in contrast to "Lower Egypt," which is located in the northern delta region. The distinction between upper and lower regions is significant in understanding the historical and cultural context of biblical narratives.<br><br>2. <b>Structural Context</b>:<br> &#183; In architectural terms, "Upper" often refers to the upper parts of buildings or structures. One notable example is the "upper room" mentioned in the New Testament. In <a href="/acts/1-13.htm">Acts 1:13</a> , it is written, "When they arrived, they went to the upper room where they were staying." This upper room is traditionally understood as the place where the disciples gathered after the Ascension of Jesus and where the Holy Spirit descended upon them at Pentecost (<a href="/acts/2.htm">Acts 2:1-4</a>). The upper room thus holds a place of great significance in the early Christian community as a site of prayer, fellowship, and divine encounter.<br><br>3. <b>Metaphorical and Symbolic Use</b>:<br> &#183; The term "Upper" can also carry metaphorical or symbolic meanings. In some instances, it may represent a higher spiritual state or a place of divine presence. For example, in the Psalms, the imagery of ascending to a higher place often symbolizes drawing nearer to God. <a href="/psalms/24-3.htm">Psalm 24:3</a> asks, "Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in His holy place?" Here, the ascent to a higher place is symbolic of approaching God's holiness and presence.<br><br>4. <b>Upper Springs and Waters</b>:<br> &#183; The Bible also mentions "upper springs" or "upper waters," which are sources of life and sustenance. In <a href="/joshua/15-19.htm">Joshua 15:19</a> , Caleb's daughter Achsah requests, "Give me also springs of water." So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs. The provision of upper springs signifies abundance and blessing, highlighting the importance of water in the arid landscapes of the biblical world.<br><br>5. <b>Upper Millstone</b>:<br> &#183; The "upper millstone" is another specific use of the term, referring to the top stone in a pair of millstones used for grinding grain. In <a href="/judges/9-53.htm">Judges 9:53</a> , it is recorded, "But a woman dropped an upper millstone on Abimelech&#8217;s head, crushing his skull." This account illustrates the practical use of the upper millstone and its role in daily life, as well as its unexpected use in a moment of conflict.<br><br>In summary, the term "Upper" in the Bible encompasses a range of meanings, from geographical and structural to metaphorical and symbolic. Each usage contributes to the rich tapestry of biblical narrative and theology, offering insights into the physical and spiritual landscapes of the biblical world.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
