To BOW DOWN, prostrate oneself, worship. Biblical Aramaic. ⚠ Occurs 11 times in Daniel 3 (the refrain of the herald's proclamation, the accusation, and the king's ultimatum, repeated across the chapter) and once more at 2:46 — of NEBUCHADNEZZAR HIMSELF, falling down and sagid to Daniel after the dream is interpreted. The same verb the king used of his own posture toward Daniel one chapter earlier is the verb he spends chapter 3 demanding of everyone else toward a statue. → first discussed at Dan 3:5
