It is often used in the context of divine favor or the act of blessing others. In the Hebrew Bible, blessings are seen as a powerful and effective means of invoking God's favor and grace upon individuals, families, or nations.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, blessings were an integral part of religious and social life. They were often pronounced by patriarchs, priests, and prophets as a means of conveying God's favor and promises. Blessings were not only verbal expressions but were believed to have tangible effects on the lives of those who received them. The act of blessing was often accompanied by physical gestures, such as laying on of hands or kneeling, symbolizing submission and reverence to God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/1290.htm">berek</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>the knee<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>knees (1).<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">בְּרַךְ</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [feminine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>knee</b></font>; — plural suffix <font class="hebrew2">בִּרְכ֫וֺהִי</font> <a href="/interlinear/daniel/6-11.htm">Daniel 6:11</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>knee <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/1290.htm">berek</a> -- knee. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/1290.htm">berek</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>בִּרְכ֗וֹהִי ברכוהי bir·ḵō·w·hî birChohi birḵōwhî<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/daniel/6-10.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 6:10</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/6.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">בָּרֵ֣ךְ עַל־ <b> בִּרְכ֗וֹהִי </b> וּמְצַלֵּ֤א וּמוֹדֵא֙</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/6.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> and he continued kneeling <span class="itali">on his knees</span> three<br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/6.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> he kneeled upon <span class="itali">his knees</span> three times<br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/6-10.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> kneeled upon <span class="itali">his knees</span> praying and giving<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1291.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1291.htm">Strong's Hebrew 1291<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/birchohi_1291.htm">bir·ḵō·w·hî — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/1290.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1290"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1290" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/1292.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1292"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1292" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
