Direct OT->NT Quotations¶

No direct OT quotation was identified from the trace gatherer's key-verse set. The chain is a lexical bridge for height, exaltation, and lifting.

Continuity and Shifts¶

What stays the same across testaments: - The shared verbal field covers literal elevation and figurative exaltation. - Height vocabulary remains closely connected with status, heart-posture, and reversal.

What shifts: - H1361 often includes a pride/haughtiness use; G5312 in the NT also carries positive exaltation/lifting contexts. - The larger G5312 bridge is anchored more strongly in H7311 rum, so H1361 contributes one strand within a broader high/exalt family.
