It is used to describe the physical part of the body that bends, allowing for movement and flexibility. In the biblical context, the knee is often associated with acts of worship, submission, and prayer, as bending the knee is a physical expression of reverence and humility before God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the act of bending the knee was a common gesture of respect, submission, and worship. Kneeling before a king or deity was a sign of allegiance and reverence. In the Hebrew Bible, the knee is symbolically significant in demonstrating one's devotion and humility before God. The physical act of kneeling in prayer or worship is a tangible expression of one's inner spiritual posture.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">אַרְכֻבָּה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> id.
