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.
