| Genesis 23:7 | Abraham rose up, and bowed down to the people of the land, to wit, the children of Heth: | Bowed down to the people. Adoravit, literally, adored. But this word here, as well as in many other places in the Latin Scriptures, is used to signify only an inferior honour and reverence paid to men, expressed by a bowing down of the body. |
