se.liq describes coming or rising up, whether of beasts and horns, thoughts, or people traveling to Jerusalem.

The attested usage consistently describes upward emergence or movement: beasts rise from the sea, a horn comes up among other horns, thoughts come up while a king is on his bed, and Judahites go up to Jerusalem.

Senses in use

  1. Rising or coming up · dominant

    In Daniel 7:3, the active participle describes four beasts in the act of ascending from the sea; the feminine singular perfect forms in Daniel 7:8 and Daniel 7:20 describe another horn that came up among the horns. The masculine plural perfect forms in Daniel 2:29 and Ezra 4:12 occur where the APB renders thoughts that “came up” and Judahites who “went up” to Jerusalem.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB varies its presentation across the verses, using “ascending,” “ascended,” “came up,” and “went up.” These renderings confirm the verses' upward-movement settings rather than defining each form separately.
