It is often used in contexts where physical or metaphorical falling or prostration is described. This term can imply a sense of submission, defeat, or humility, depending on the context in which it appears.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, bowing down was a common gesture of respect, submission, or worship. It was a physical expression of one's acknowledgment of authority or divine power. The act of collapsing or falling could also symbolize defeat or the overwhelming nature of certain circumstances. Understanding the cultural significance of these actions helps to grasp the depth of meaning in the biblical texts where "qaras" is used.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to bend down, stoop, crouch<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>stooped over (1), stoops over (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">קָרַס</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>bend down, stoop, crouch</b></font> (intransitive) (compare perhaps Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb090201.gif"> <em>disc, round cake</em>;
