In the biblical context, it is frequently associated with the "Songs of Ascents" (Psalms 120-134), which were sung by pilgrims as they ascended to Jerusalem for the feasts.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, Jerusalem was situated on a hill, and the temple was located at a higher elevation. Pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem for religious festivals would physically ascend to the city, and the "Songs of Ascents" were likely sung during this journey. The steps leading up to the temple also held significant spiritual symbolism, representing the believer's journey towards God and holiness.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/305.htm">anabainó</a> and bathmos (a step)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a going up, an ascent<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>stairs (2).<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 304: ἀναβαθμός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀναβαθμός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">(οῦ</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (<span class="greek2">βαθμός</span>, and this from <span class="greek2">βαίνω</span>); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">an ascent</span>. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">a means of going up, a flight of steps, a stair</span>: <a href="/interlinear/acts/21-35.htm">Acts 21:35, 40</a>.
