It conveys an act of reverence, humility, and acknowledgment of authority or divinity. In the biblical context, it is used to describe the physical act of bowing down before God or idols, indicating worship or homage.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, bowing down or prostrating oneself was a common gesture of respect and submission. It was a physical expression of acknowledging the superiority or divinity of the one being worshiped or honored. In the Hebrew Bible, this act is often associated with worshiping God, but it is also used in contexts where individuals bow before kings or other figures of authority. The act of bowing was not merely a cultural formality but a significant expression of one's inner attitude of reverence and submission.<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 prostrate oneself (in worship)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bow down (1), fall down (1), falls down (2).<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">סָגַד</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>prostrate oneself</b></font> in worship (only <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/44-46.htm">Isaiah 44:46</a>) (perhaps Aramaic loan-word in Hebrew, compare Nö<sup>ZMG xli (1887), 719</sup>; Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">סְגֵב</font>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb068801.gif">, so Old Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">סגד</font>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb068802.gif"> (Sachau) Lzb<sup>328</sup>; Ethiopic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb068803.gif"> all <em>id.</em>; Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb068804.gif"> <em>be lowly, submissive, prostrate oneself in prayer</em>, etc., <img src="/bdbgif/bdb068805.gif"> <em>mosque</em>, Nabataean <font class="hebrew2">מסגדא</font> <em>shrine</em> (?)
