The KJV renders 7 different Hebrew and Greek words as “take up”

What it means

to waken (transitively or intransitively), i.e. rouse (literally, from sleep, from sitting or lying, from disease, from death; or figuratively, from obscurity, inactivity, ruins, nonexistence)

probably akin to the base of G58 (ἀγορά) (through the idea of collecting one's faculties);

How the KJV renders it

awake, lift, raise again, rear up, arise again, stand, take up
