Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "margeloth," the concept of sitting at someone's feet is echoed in the New Testament, such as in Luke 10:39, where Mary sits at Jesus' feet. Usage: The term "margeloth" refers to the area at or near the feet. It is often used in a figurative sense to describe a position of humility or service, as one would sit or lie at the feet of another. This term can also imply a place of learning or discipleship, as students would sit at the feet of their teachers. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern culture, sitting at someone's feet was a common posture for learning and receiving instruction. It was also a position of submission and respect. This cultural practice is reflected in various biblical narratives where individuals are described as being at the feet of others, indicating a relationship of servitude, learning, or devotion.
