Berean Strong's Lexicon anatelló: To rise, to spring up, to cause to rise Original Word: ἀνατέλλω Word Origin: From ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and τέλλω (tello, meaning "to cause to arise" or "to make to rise") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H2224 (זָרַח, zarach) - to rise, shine - H6779 (צָמַח, tsamach) - to sprout, spring up Usage: The verb ἀνατέλλω primarily means "to rise" or "to spring up." It is often used in the context of the rising of the sun or other celestial bodies, as well as the sprouting or growth of plants. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the rising of spiritual light or truth. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the rising of the sun was a powerful symbol of new beginnings, hope, and divine intervention. The agricultural society of the time also placed great importance on the sprouting of plants, which was essential for sustenance and survival. These natural phenomena were often seen as acts of divine providence and were deeply embedded in the religious and cultural consciousness of the people.
