It conveys the idea of being laid up in a particular place, either due to physical incapacity or as part of a customary practice, such as reclining at a meal.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, reclining was a common posture for dining, especially during formal meals or banquets. This practice was also adopted in Jewish culture during the time of Jesus, particularly for significant meals like the Passover. Additionally, the concept of being "laid up" due to illness reflects the limited medical understanding and care available in ancient times, where individuals often remained bedridden until recovery or death.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2596.htm">kata</a> and <a href="/greek/2749.htm">keimai</a><br><span
