SIBI-P1 H5457-01
prostrating men
| Root | סגד (s-g-d) |
| Core Meanings | to bow down, to prostrate oneself, to pay homage, to render worship |
| Semantic Range | to bow low, to prostrate oneself before a superior, to render homage, to perform acts of worship |
| Conceptual Significance | In the biblical context (notably in Daniel), this term describes acts of visible submission before kings or idols, highlighting the tension between outward homage and covenant loyalty to the Most High. It underscores worship as embodied allegiance expressed through physical prostration. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb in the Peal (Qal) stem; masculine plural active participle, absolute state. Denotes continuous or characteristic action: "those who are bowing down." |
| Rendering Rationale | The Aramaic root סגד denotes physical prostration as an act of homage or worship. The form is a masculine plural Peal (Qal) active participle in the absolute state, so "prostrating men" reflects both the ongoing participial sense ("those who are prostrating") and the masculine plural morphology. |
