and-its-steps
A going up, ascent, or step upwards, used both in literal and figurative senses. Primarily denotes a physical step, stair, or upward movement (e.g., an architectural step or stage in a journey), but also describes a social or spiritual elevation, such as increase in status, rank, or spiritual condition. In particular contexts, denotes a stage in a process, a degree or measure of quality, or a thought or intention that arises. In the superscriptions of certain Psalms (Psalms of Ascents), refers specifically to songs associated with pilgrimage or gradual progression toward a holy place.
