Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5286 (hupopodion): Used in the New Testament to convey a similar concept of a footstool, particularly in reference to Christ's authority and the subjugation of His enemies (e.g., Hebrews 1:13). Usage: The term "hadom" refers to a footstool, an object used to rest one's feet. In the biblical context, it often symbolizes subjugation or submission, as a footstool is something placed under one's feet. It is used metaphorically to describe the earth in relation to God's sovereignty, indicating His supreme authority and dominion. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, a footstool was a common piece of furniture, often used by kings and rulers. It symbolized power and control, as placing one's feet on something was a sign of dominance.

The concept of a footstool also appears in temple imagery, where the Ark of the Covenant is described as God's footstool, signifying His presence and rule.
