This certainly gives God the recognition He deserves. However, there are other words in the original Hebrew and Greek that give more meaning to the act of Christian worship. Often there are no English words that accurately translate the original meanings.
Consider the Hebrew word ‘shachah’ and the Greek word ‘proskuneo’. These are frequently translated as an act of worship. In simple terms, both these words mean ‘to bow down’.
The Hebrew word ‘shachah’ (Strong’s no 7812) describes bowing or prostrating oneself, often before a superior or before God. In the ancient Biblical times, people bowed down before those to whom they wanted to show respect or honour. This act of falling down is often translated as ‘worship’ in the King James Bible. It reveals the feelings of the worshipper; respect and honour towards the one / object being worshipped. In more recent translations is rendered as ‘bowed down’ as a token of deep adoration.
- Exodus 32:8 King James Version (KJV)
- They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
- Exodus 32:8 New International Version (NIV)
- They have been quick to turn away from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf. They have bowed down to it and sacrificed to it and have said, ‘These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.’
The Greek word ‘proskuneo’ (Strong’s no 4505) literally means to ‘kiss the hand toward’ someone in a token of reverence. In the New Testament, it means kneeling or prostrating oneself to do homage, to make obeisance, to express respect or to make supplication.
Another important term associated with worship is homologia. Worshippers frequently spend some or all of their time professing faith, praising God, thanking God and proclaiming truths about God.
