In the Prophets and Psalms God also raises up a leader, or raises a stormy wind. Interpretation: The raising of seed for a dead brother is the law of levirate marriage. The promised prophet "like Moses" is read as a sign that God will always send true prophets to guide Israel. Isaiah's one raised from the east is read by tradition as Abraham. In the primary lessons: In class, raise your hand to ask or answer a question. In maths, a number raised to a power is multiplied by itself (2 raised to the power 3 = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8). In charity events, schools raise money with bake sales and fun runs. In farming, farmers raise sheep or crops. Phrases: raise your hand, raise money, raise your voice, raise the alarm, raise awareness, raise a family. ### examples - A prophet will the LORD thy God raise up unto thee, from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; (Torah DEU.18.15, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/R/raise/#x1) - And Judah said unto Onan: 'Go in unto thy brother's wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother unto her, and raise up seed to thy brother.'
