Context: רֶבַע (Reva') is a Hebrew term that signifies the act of prostration, a physical expression of humility, submission, or worship. In ancient Near Eastern cultures, prostration was a common practice to show reverence to deities or respect to higher authorities. The act of lying prostrate is often associated with prayer, supplication, or a demonstration of one's lowliness before God or a king. This term is rooted in the verb רָבַע (raba'), which means to lie down, indicating a physical posture of submission. The concept of prostration is deeply embedded in the religious practices of the Israelites, reflecting their acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and their own humility.
