It is often associated with acts of worship, submission, and blessing. The act of bending the knee is a physical expression of humility and reverence, frequently depicted in both the Old and New Testaments.<br><br><b>Worship and Submission</b><br><br>In biblical times, bending the knee was a common posture for prayer and worship, symbolizing submission to God. In <a href="/1_kings/8-54.htm">1 Kings 8:54</a>, Solomon is described as having "knelt on his knees with his hands spread toward heaven" during his prayer of dedication for the temple. This act of kneeling signifies a heart posture of humility and reverence before the Almighty.<br><br>The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Ephesians, writes, "For this reason I bow my knees before the Father" (<a href="/ephesians/3-14.htm">Ephesians 3:14</a>), illustrating the practice of kneeling in prayer as a sign of submission and earnest supplication to God.<br><br><b>Blessing and Authority</b><br><br>The knee is also associated with the act of blessing. In <a href="/genesis/48-12.htm">Genesis 48:12</a>, Joseph brings his sons to Jacob, who "brought them from between his knees, and he bowed down with his face to the ground." This passage highlights the cultural practice of placing children on the knees as a gesture of blessing and acceptance.<br><br>Furthermore, the knee is a symbol of authority and power. In <a href="/philippians/2-10.htm">Philippians 2:10</a>, it is declared that "at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth." This verse underscores the ultimate authority of Christ, to whom all creation will submit.<br><br><b>Healing and Strength</b><br><br>The knee is also mentioned in contexts of healing and strength. In <a href="/hebrews/12-12.htm">Hebrews 12:12</a>, believers are encouraged to "strengthen your limp hands and weak knees." This exhortation serves as a metaphor for spiritual renewal and perseverance, urging the faithful to find strength in their walk with God.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context</b><br><br>In the ancient Near Eastern culture, the act of kneeling was not only a religious gesture but also a social one. It was a sign of respect and submission to a higher authority, whether divine or human. This cultural understanding is reflected in various biblical narratives where individuals kneel before kings or leaders as a sign of respect and allegiance.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The knee, as depicted in the Bible, is a multifaceted symbol representing worship, submission, blessing, authority, healing, and strength. Its significance is woven throughout Scripture, illustrating the physical and spiritual posture of those who seek to honor and serve God.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

The disease of the knees mentioned in <a href="/deuteronomy/28-35.htm">Deuteronomy 28:35</a> is perhaps some form of leprosy. In <a href="/job/3-12.htm">Job 3:12</a> the "knees" seem to be used for the lap, as the place where a child receives its first care. Three times in Genesis the knees appear in connection with primitive adoption customs. In 30:3 a fiction is enacted that purports to represent Rachel as the actual mother of Bilhah's children. By a somewhat similar rite in 48:12, Jacob (the "knees" here are Jacob's, not Joseph's) adopts Ephraim and Manasseh, so that they are counted as two of the twelve patriarchs and not as members of a single Joseph tribe. In the same way Machir's children are adopted by Joseph in 50:23, and this is certainly connected with the counting of Machir (instead of Manasseh) as one of the tribes in <a href="/judges/5-14.htm">Judges 5:14</a>. See <a href="../t/tribe.htm">TRIBE</a>; and for the idea underlying this paternal adoption, compare THIGH. From among classical instances of the same customs compare Homer, Odyssey, xix. 401;, where Autolukos, grandfather of Ulysses, receives the newborn grandchild on his knees and gives him his name. Thus also we have to understand the numerous representations in Egyptian sculpture, showing the king as an infant on the knees or the lap of a goddess.<br><br>Kneeling was less commonly an attitude of prayer among the Jews than was standing, but references to kneeling are of course abundant.
