Exaltation, dignity; a raised swelling on the skin (medical); the act of rising or lifting up.
Derived from the root nasa' (to lift, carry), this noun spans the physical and the exalted. In the priestly legislation of Leviticus 13-14, it denotes a raised swelling on the skin -- a clinical term in the diagnostic vocabulary of purity laws, rendered 'hinchazion' in Spanish and 'Schwellung' in German. In poetry and prophecy, it ascends to dignity and majesty: the firstborn's 'preeminence' (Gen 49:3), the terror of God's 'exaltation' (Job 13:11; 31:23), and the self-derived authority of the Chaldeans (Hab 1:7). Two passages preserve the verbal force of the root itself -- a 'lifting up' (Gen 4:7) and a 'rising' that terrifies the mighty (Job 41:25).
Senses
1. swelling, skin lesion — A raised swelling or skin eruption, used as a technical priestly-medical term in Leviticus 13-14 for diagnosing skin diseases. Listed alongside sapachath and bahereth as the three types of suspicious marks (Lev 13:2). Spanish 'hinchazion,' French 'enflure,' and German 'Schwellung' all render the physical, dermatological meaning consistently across seven occurrences. 7×

2. dignity, majesty, exaltation — Dignity, majesty, or exaltation -- the abstract elevation of rank, honor, or divine splendor. Jacob blesses Reuben as 'preeminent in dignity' (Gen 49:3); the psalmist's enemies seek to topple someone from their 'exaltation' (Ps 62:4); the Chaldeans' authority is 'from themselves' (Hab 1:7). French 'grandeur' and Spanish 'majestad/dignidad' capture this noble register. 5×

3. lifting up, rising — The act of rising or being lifted up, preserving the dynamic verbal force of the root nasa'. Genesis 4:7 speaks of a 'lifting up' (whether of countenance or of forgiveness remains debated), while Job 41:25 describes Leviathan's 'rising' that makes the mighty afraid. French 'exaltation' and German 'Erhebung' retain this active, eventive quality. 2×
