Strong's Lexicon arzah: To the ground, to the earth, landward Original Word: אַרְזה Word Origin: Derived from the root word אֶרֶץ (erets), meaning "land" or "earth." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "arzah," the concept of bowing or falling to the ground can be related to Greek words such as προσκυνέω (proskyneo - G4352), meaning "to worship" or "to bow down." Usage: The Hebrew adverb "arzah" is used to indicate direction or movement towards the ground or land. It often conveys a sense of physical descent or orientation towards the earth. In the context of biblical narratives, it can describe actions such as bowing down, falling, or moving towards a specific land or territory. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of land (erets) was deeply significant, representing not only physical territory but also divine promise and inheritance. The use of "arzah" in the Hebrew Bible often reflects this cultural importance, as actions directed towards the land can symbolize submission, reverence, or the fulfillment of God's promises. The land of Israel, in particular, held a central place in the identity and faith of the Israelites, being the Promised Land given to them by God.
