Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is προσκυνέω (proskuneo), which also means "to worship" or "to bow down." Usage: The term "mishtowach" refers to the act of bowing down or prostrating oneself, often in the context of worship or showing reverence. It conveys a physical act of submission and humility before a deity or a person of higher status. In the Hebrew Bible, it is frequently used to describe the worship of God, as well as the act of bowing before kings or other figures of authority. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, bowing down was a common gesture of respect, submission, and worship. It was a physical expression of acknowledging the superiority or divinity of another. In the context of Israelite worship, bowing down before God was an integral part of religious practice, symbolizing the worshiper's reverence and submission to God's authority and majesty.
