It is clear that you have never studied Hebrew, and don’t know how to access lexical resources that would explain the meaning of the word in question. Because it literally means “to bow”. It is often translated as “worship”, but this is really a looser translation of the word, though depending on the context, it may or may not be a bad way of putting it into English.

HaHaHa...I wouldn't waste my time studying Hebrew...I'll bet you haven't either...There are tons of people who have studied Hebrew...All we have to do is read what they wrote...You nor I are going to find any new Hebrew revelations by studying Hebrew...

Based on the context, it is the only way to put it...

The word worship is not the issue...It's the little words...It's always the little words that mess you up...Now here's what you posted:::

“Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship the footstool of His feet; for He is holy” (Psalm 98[99]:5).

So what Hebrew did you study to come up with those words, 'the' and 'of'??? Look at the context...Worship a footstool because God is Holy??? What sense does that make???

This is the KJV and numerous other translations of the Hebrew...And it makes perfect sense...

Psa 99:5 Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.

You worship AT the footstool because God is holy and THAT is where God is at...

To my knowledge a lexicon does not exist that has the phrase 'worship the footstool', 'of his feet'...So I'd like you to show me which of the Lexicons you use to come up with that phrasing...
