STRONGS G393:
ἀνατέλλω; 1 aorist
ἀνέτειλα; perfect
ἀνατέταλκα;
a. transitive,
to cause to rise:
τὸν ἥλιον,
Matthew 5:45 (of the earth bringing forth plants,
Genesis 3:18; of a river producing something, Homer, Iliad 5, 777).
b. intransitive,
to rise, arise: light,
Matthew 4:16 (
Isaiah 58:10); the sun,
Matthew 13:6;
Mark 4:6;
Mark 16:2;
James 1:11; the clouds,

φωσφόρος, 2 Peter 1:19. tropically,
to rise from, be descended from, Hebrews 7:14. The earlier Greeks commonly used
ἀνατέλλειν of the sun and moon, and
ἐπιτέλλειν of the stars; but Aelian, Pausanias, Stobaeus, and other later writings neglect this distinction; see
Lob. ad Phryn., p. 124f.

ἐξανατέλλω.]
