Brown-Driver-Briggs [בְּרַךְ] noun [feminine] knee; — plural suffix בִּרְכ֫וֺהִי Daniel 6:11. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּרַךְ (barak), which means "to kneel" or "to bless."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1119: γόνυ (gony) • Greek for "knee," used in the New Testament to describe the physical knee and the act of kneeling, often in prayer or supplication. Usage: This word is used in the context of physical anatomy, specifically referring to the knee joint. It appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament. Context: The Aramaic word בֶּרֶךְ (berek) is found in the context of the Old Testament, particularly in the book of Daniel, which contains sections written in Aramaic. The knee is often symbolically associated with acts of submission, humility, and worship, as kneeling is a common posture for prayer and reverence. In the ancient Near Eastern culture, the act of bending the knee was a sign of respect and honor, often performed before a king or deity. The physical act of kneeling is thus imbued with spiritual significance, representing an outward expression of inner devotion and acknowledgment of authority.
