It is used to describe the process of becoming greater or more significant, whether in size, number, or influence. This term can be applied to both physical and metaphorical contexts, such as the growth of a population, the increase of wealth, or the expansion of influence.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, growth and increase were often seen as signs of divine blessing and favor. Agricultural societies, like those in ancient Israel, viewed abundant harvests and growing flocks as direct results of God's provision. Similarly, the growth of a nation or the increase of its influence was often attributed to divine intervention and blessing. The concept of growth was not only physical but also spiritual, as individuals and communities sought to grow in their relationship with God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to grow, grow great<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>exalt (1), makes the great (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">שָׂגָא</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>grow, grow great</b></font> (√ only in Job; Aramaism; compare Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">סְגִי</font>, <font class="hebrew2">סְגָא</font>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb096003.gif">, all <em>increase, grow great</em>; Old Aramaic, Biblical Aramaic, Palmyrene <font class="hebrew2">שג(י)א</font> adjective <em>much</em>); — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Imperfect</em>3masculine singular metaplastic <font class="hebrew2">יִשְׂגֶּא</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/8-11.htm">Job 8:11</a> (of plant; metaplastic from Ges<sup>§ 75oo</sup>; > van d.
