Strong's Lexicon shachach: To bow down, to be brought low, to humble Original Word: שָׁחַח Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence, the Greek word "ταπεινόω" (tapeinoō), meaning "to humble" or "to bring low," can be seen as a conceptual parallel in the New Testament. Usage: The Hebrew verb "shachach" primarily conveys the action of bowing down or being brought low. It is often used in the context of physical posture, such as bowing in worship or submission, as well as metaphorically to describe a state of humility or being humbled. The term can also imply being subdued or oppressed, reflecting a lowering of status or condition. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, bowing down was a common gesture of respect, submission, or worship. It was a physical expression of humility and reverence, often directed towards God or a person of higher status. The act of bowing was deeply embedded in the social and religious practices of the time, symbolizing acknowledgment of authority and the recognition of one's own position in relation to others.
