Original Word: ἀνίστημι
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: anistémi
Pronunciation: ah-NEE-stay-mee
Phonetic Spelling: (an-is'-tay-mee)
Definition: To raise, to rise, to stand up, to resurrect
Meaning: I raise up, set up; I rise from among (the) dead; I arise, appear.

Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and ἵστημι (histémi, meaning "to stand" or "to set").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H6965 קוּם (qum): To rise, to stand up

- H2421 חָיָה (chayah): To live, to revive

Usage: The verb ἀνίστημι (anistémi) is used in the New Testament to convey the action of rising or standing up. It is often used in the context of physical rising, such as standing up from a seated or lying position. More significantly, it is used to describe resurrection, particularly the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the future resurrection of believers. The term can also imply a rising to action or a call to stand up for a purpose.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of resurrection was not widely accepted, with many viewing death as a final state. However, within Jewish thought, there was a belief in the resurrection of the dead, particularly among the Pharisees. The New Testament writers, drawing from this Jewish background, used ἀνίστημι to articulate the foundational Christian belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is central to the Christian faith and hope in eternal life.

In the same way the Hebrew קוּם (especially וַיָּקָם) is put before verbs of going, departing, etc., according to the well known oriental custom to omit nothing contributing to the full pictorial delineation of an action or event; hence, formerly וַיָקָם and ἀναστάς were sometimes incorrectly said to be redundant; cf.
