The occurrences of the word in Mt 22:24 and Acts 3:22 are rendered: his brother shall marry his wife and raise up (ANASTHSEI) offspring for his brother (Mt 22:24) The Lord your God shall raise up (ANASTHSEI) a Prophet like me .... (Acts 3:22). It is evident here that the AN- prefix is nothing more than what the EP- prefix in EPIGINWSKW appears to be: used either for intensification (and translated as up or upwards) or for no particular significance (and left untranslated; so most translations).
