Context: The Aramaic word אַרְכֻבָה appears in the context of the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Daniel. It is used to describe the act of kneeling, which is often associated with prayer, submission, or reverence. In Daniel 6:10 (BSB), it is noted that Daniel "got down on his knees three times a day to pray and give thanks before his God, just as he had done before." This usage highlights the cultural and religious significance of kneeling as an act of devotion and humility before God. The physical act of bending the knee is symbolic of one's submission and reverence, a common practice in ancient Near Eastern cultures.
