Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Aramaic; a root word Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek 4352: προσκυνέω (proskuneo) • to worship, to bow down • Strong's Greek 4098: πίπτω (pipto) • to fall, to prostrate oneself These Greek terms similarly convey the act of worship and reverence, often involving physical gestures of submission and respect, paralleling the Aramaic concept of סְגִד. Usage: This term is used in the context of showing reverence or worship, often by physically bowing down or prostrating oneself before a deity or a person of high status. Context: The Aramaic verb סְגִד (segid) appears in the context of worship and reverence, particularly in the book of Daniel, which contains significant portions written in Aramaic. The act of prostration is a physical demonstration of submission and honor, often directed towards a deity or a king. In the ancient Near Eastern culture, bowing down was a common practice to show respect and acknowledge authority. In the biblical narrative, this term is notably used in Daniel 3:5, 3:10, 3:15, and 3:18, where it describes the act of bowing to the golden image set up by King Nebuchadnezzar. The refusal of Daniel's friends to "segid" to the image highlights their exclusive devotion to the God of Israel, emphasizing the theological theme of faithfulness amidst persecution. Daniel 3:5 (BSB): "As soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up." Daniel 3:10 (BSB): "You, O king, have issued a decree that everyone who hears the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music must fall down and worship the golden statue." Daniel 3:15 (BSB): "Now, if you are ready, as soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the statue I have made." Daniel 3:18 (BSB): "But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden statue you have set up."
