Strong's Lexicon kuptó: To bend forward, stoop down Original Word: κυπτό Word Origin: A primary verb Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "kuptó," the concept of bowing or stooping can be related to Hebrew words like "שָׁחָה" (shachah - Strong's H7812), which means to bow down or prostrate oneself. Usage: The Greek verb "kuptó" primarily means to bend forward or stoop down. It is often used in the context of physically bending the body, typically to look at something more closely or to perform an action that requires a lower posture. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe humility or submission. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the act of stooping or bending down was often associated with humility, servitude, or attentiveness. In the context of the New Testament, stooping down could symbolize a humble approach to God or a readiness to serve others. The physical act of bending down was also a common posture for examining something closely, such as reading or inspecting an object.
