Qimah (H7012) means a rising up, standing, or uprising. Related to qum (to rise, stand up), it can describe the literal act of standing or the figurative rising of opposition. The noun captures the dynamic moment of uprising — of God or of adversaries.
When God 'arises' (qum), His enemies scatter (Psalm 68:1). The resurrection of Christ is the ultimate divine qimah — God rising in power over death and all enemies. The believer's daily 'rising' in prayer and faith echoes this divine pattern: we rise with Christ (Colossians 3:1). In Ephesians 5:14, the call to 'wake up and rise' recalls the resurrection itself.
