Adore (Easton)

DIC dictionary-entry · status:draft · license:PD

To worship; to express reverence and homage. The forms of adoration among the Jews were putting off the shoes ( Exodus 3:5 ; Joshua 5:15 ), and prostration ( Genesis 17:3 ; Psalm 95:6 ; Isaiah 44:15,17,19 ; 46:6 ). To "kiss the Son" in Psalm 2:12 is to adore and worship him. (See Daniel 3:5,6 .) The word itself does not occur in Scripture.
