The word is applied (Ezek. 23.14.) to the motion of the spirit of God, sent unto Ezekiel to instruct him; The spirit lifted me up, or caught me away; that which the good spirit did unto Ezekiel (not only upon his spirit, but upon his body, for he was corporally carried away from the place where he was) that the heart of Job (as Eliphaz conceived) did unto him, it lifted him up, and carried him away.
