to lift up

Causative action by which humans or forces take hold of objects and cause them to rise up from a certain location

Examples
Daniel 7:4 “The first was like a lion but had the wings of an eagle. I kept looking until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the ground and set up on two feet like a man; a human mind also was given to it.
to look up

To lift up (one's eyes); hence: action by which humans direct their face or eyes away from the ground so that they can see what is in the distance or in the sky

Examples
Daniel 4:34 “But at the end of that period, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever; For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, And His kingdom endures from generation to generation.

High002001001035: Daniel 4:34 recounts that “I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High.”
Engage002003003011: This Engage code is inherited from the shared lemma-cluster grouping's “to lay upon” and “to offer” senses; this word's own occurrences describe eyes and wings being lifted, never a burden being laid upon someone or an offer being extended.
See002004001005: This same clause in Daniel 4:34 — “I...raised my eyes toward heaven” — carries the shared lemma-cluster grouping's “to look up” sense as well, since raising the eyes toward heaven is itself the act of looking up.
