Adore
to worship; to express reverence and homage. The forms of adoration among the Jews were putting off the shoes (
Ex. 3:5;
Josh. 5:15), and prostration (
Gen. 17:3;
Ps. 95:6;
Isa. 44:15,
17,
19;
46:6). To "kiss the Son" in
Ps. 2:12 is to adore and worship him. (See
Dan. 3:5,
6.) The word itself does not occur in Scripture
