It is used in the context of expressing affection, respect, or allegiance. The act of kissing in biblical times was a common cultural expression of greeting, farewell, or submission. It could also signify a covenantal relationship or a gesture of homage.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, kissing was a significant social gesture. It was not limited to romantic affection but extended to familial love, friendship, and political alliances. Kissing could denote respect or submission, such as kissing the feet of a king or a deity. The act of kissing was often symbolic, representing deeper relational or covenantal truths.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>the same as <a href="/hebrew/5559.htm">saleq</a>, q.v.<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">נסק</font> whence <font class="hebrew2">אֶסַּק</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/139-8.htm">Psalm 139:8</a> according to Thes and others;
