Sajda: Form of
Worship
Prophets of the Bible used to fall on their
faces (performed sajda) while worshipping before God...
Abraham:
And Abram fell on his face: and God
talked with him, saying…
(KJV) Genesis 17: 3
Job:
Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell
down upon the ground, and worshipped.
(KJV) Job 1: 20
Moses & Aaron:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying: 'Separate
yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a
moment'. And they fell upon their faces,
and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man
sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?
(KJV) Numbers 16: 20-22
Jesus:
And he went a little further, and fell on
his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let
this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou {wilt}.
(KJV) Matthew 26: 39 |
