'Lifting' in the Bible

And lifting up my eyes I saw four horns.

Then I said, What have these come to do? And he said, These are the horns which sent Judah in flight, and kept him from lifting up his head: but these men have come to send fear on them and to put down the nations who are lifting up their horns against the land of Judah to send it in flight.

And lifting up my eyes, I saw a man with a measuring-line in his hand.

Then again lifting up my eyes I saw a roll in flight through the air.

And lifting up my eyes I saw two women coming out, and the wind was in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they took the ephah, lifting it up between earth and heaven.

And again lifting up my eyes I saw four war-carriages coming out from between the two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
