Footnote

b Paul employed the Greek word proskynéo, which The Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament (Bauer, Arndt, Gingrich) says was “used to designate the custom of prostrating oneself before a person and kissing the feet, the hem of the garment, the ground.” (1 Samuel 24:8; 2 Kings 2:15) It may also signify “worship,” which is how some Bibles read at Hebrews 1:6. If that is the correct sense here, it evidently means a relative worship, a worship of Jehovah God directed through his glorified Son.​—Compare Revelation 14:7; The Watchtower of November 15, 1970, pages 702-704.
