On Egyptian reliefs worshipers are represented with outstretched hand throwing a kiss to (pros-) the deity" (DNTT, 2, 875,876). - [[G4352]] (proskyneō) has been (metaphorically) described as "the kissing-ground" between believers (the Bride) and Christ (the heavenly Bridegroom). While this is true, [[G4352]] (proskynéō) suggests the willingness to make all necessary physical gestures of obeisance. #### Blue Letter Bible - Outline - #### Blue Letter Bible - Strong's Definition - #### Blue Letter Bible - Vines - --- #### Transliteration Details - --- #### Date - Initial - 2020.09.05 - Revised - 2023.06.25 ---
