It is common in the Bible for people to "rise up," and it would be easy to pass over the phrase as simply describing a physical action. But in fact it represents an elevation in spiritual state, moving to a more internal frame of mind closer to the Lord. Often it has to do with understanding a new or important idea; we "rise up" to a state of greater perception and enlightenment. Obviously context is crucial to the exact meaning of the phrase in a given passage -- it matters greatly who it is that is rising up, and why.

The raising up meant by 'rising up' describes in the spiritual sense a raising up from an obscure state into a clearer one, such as from a state of being without knowledge into a state of intelligence; for when this happens a person is raised from a state of the light of the world into a state of the light of heaven.
