It is a common posture mentioned throughout Scripture, symbolizing various spiritual and cultural significances.<br><br><b>Rest and Fellowship</b><br><br>Sitting is frequently associated with rest and fellowship. In <a href="/genesis/18.htm">Genesis 18:1-2</a>, Abraham is described as sitting at the entrance of his tent during the heat of the day when he encounters three visitors, one of whom is the Lord. This setting provides a backdrop for divine revelation and hospitality. Similarly, in the New Testament, Jesus often sits with His disciples and others, indicating moments of teaching and intimate fellowship. For instance, in <a href="/luke/10-39.htm">Luke 10:39</a>, Mary, the sister of Martha, is described as sitting at the Lord's feet, listening to His teaching.<br><br><b>Authority and Judgment</b><br><br>Sitting is also a position of authority and judgment. In the ancient Near Eastern context, judges and kings would sit to render decisions. This is reflected in the biblical narrative, such as in <a href="/1_kings/7-7.htm">1 Kings 7:7</a>, where Solomon's throne is described as a place where he would sit to judge. In the New Testament, Jesus speaks of the Son of Man sitting on His glorious throne to judge the nations (<a href="/matthew/25-31.htm">Matthew 25:31</a>).<br><br><b>Teaching and Instruction</b><br><br>The act of sitting is often linked to teaching and instruction. Rabbis and teachers in Jewish tradition would sit while teaching their disciples. This is evident in the Gospels, where Jesus frequently sits to teach the crowds. In <a href="/matthew/5.htm">Matthew 5:1-2</a>, Jesus sits on a mountainside to deliver the Sermon on the Mount, a significant moment of teaching in His ministry.<br><br><b>Divine Presence and Worship</b><br><br>Sitting is also associated with divine presence and worship. In the Psalms, God is often depicted as sitting enthroned, symbolizing His sovereign rule and majesty. <a href="/psalms/47-8.htm">Psalm 47:8</a> states, "God reigns over the nations; God is seated on His holy throne." This imagery conveys God's authority and the reverence due to Him.<br><br><b>Humility and Submission</b><br><br>Conversely, sitting can also represent humility and submission. In the book of Job, Job's friends sit with him on the ground for seven days and nights in silence, sharing in his suffering and demonstrating empathy (<a href="/job/2-13.htm">Job 2:13</a>). This act of sitting in silence is a gesture of solidarity and humility before God in the face of suffering.<br><br><b>Eschatological Significance</b><br><br>In eschatological contexts, sitting is used to describe the finality and completeness of Christ's work. <a href="/hebrews/10-12.htm">Hebrews 10:12</a> states, "But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God." This signifies the completion of His redemptive work and His exalted position of authority.<br><br>Throughout Scripture, the act of sitting encompasses a range of meanings, from rest and fellowship to authority and judgment, teaching, divine presence, humility, and eschatological fulfillment. Each context provides a deeper understanding of the cultural and spiritual dimensions of this seemingly simple posture.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>The attitude generally assumed in Palestine by those who were engaged in any kind of work. "The carpenter saws, planes, and hews with his hand-adze, sitting on the ground or upon the plank he is planning. The washerwoman sits by the tub; and, in a word, no one stands when it is possible to sit. Shopkeepers always sit, and Levi sitting at the receipt of custom (<a href="/matthew/9-9.htm">Matthew 9:9</a>) is the exact way to state the case.", Thomson, Land and Book. <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
