to kneel down, to kneel (an idiom, literally: to place the knees, a Latinism) to kneel down before, with the implication of an act of reverence or of supplication In a number of cultures, kneeling does not imply either reverence or an act of supplication. In some instances translators have used a functional substitute involving a similar type of stance, namely, ‘to bow low before,’ but it may be necessary to use a more or less literal description of ‘kneeling before’ and then to place in a marginal note an indication of the implications of such an act.

23.113 · Physiological Processes and States · Live, Die
Collocation: τὴν ψυχὴν τίθημι
to die voluntarily, to die willingly (an idiom, literally: to lay down one’s life) to die, with the implication of voluntary or willing action Though in English the phrases ‘to lay down one’s life’ or ‘to give one’s life’ do suggest a voluntary dying, a literal rendering of such expressions in other languages would not necessarily imply the same. It may therefore be necessary to use such expressions as ‘to die willingly’ or ‘to die without resisting.’ In some languages ‘willingly’ is expressed primarily as a negation of objecting, for example, ‘I will not object to dying.’

1 In this subdomain τίθημι[a] is by far the most generic expression. 2 JHN 13:4 This seemingly unusual use of τίθημι with τὰ ἱμάτια in JHN 13:4 parallels the use of λαμβάνω in the sense of ‘putting on a garment’ in JHN 13:12 (see 49.10). 3 Any meaning involving ‘to cause to be’ implies some change in state, and therefore one could classify these meanings under Subdomain B Change of State in Domain 13 Be, Become, Exist, Happen. However, the focus seems to be primarily upon the changed state rather than upon the process of moving from one state to another. The fact that a change of state has taken place seems to be semantically incidental.

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
τίθημι, (1) ‘‘place,” “set”: cf. P Oxy IV. 7425 (B.c. 2) ἀπόστειAdv plo]e πόσας δέσμας παρείληφες Kal θ[ὲ]ς αὐτὰς εἰς τόπον ἀσφαλῶς, ‘send me word how many bundles you have received, and put them in a safe place” (Edd.), P Fay 119"? (c, A.D. 100) τ]ὴν διαγραφὴν τοῦ χόρτου ποῦ τέθικας ; ‘where did you put the notice of payment for the hay?” P Oxy NIV. 16748 (iii/A.b.) θὲς τὴν ὀπτὴν πλίνθον π[α]ρὰ τὴν πλάτην, “put the baked bricks alongside the wall (?)” (Edd.). (2) ‘*put down,” “Jay down”: cf. P Cairo Zen IT. 59218" (B.C. 254) ὑπόμνημα τῶ[ν] ἱερέων τοῦ ἱεροῦ τῶν θέντων τὰ μέρη, ‘memorandum of the priests of the temple who have paid their portions,” and P Fay 109§ (early i/a.p.) ἐάν σε B<€>y τὸ εἱμάτιόν σου θεῖναι ἐνέχυρον, ‘even if you have to pawn your cloak” (Edd.). See also Herodas V. 62 ἔθηκας, ‘“‘you put off’ (cf. Headlam’s note with its reference to Lk 197%). (3) ‘‘make,” ‘‘appoint ἢ: cf. P Oxy 1V. 7452 (c. A.D. 1) ὑπὲρ ὧν kal ἔθου χειρόγραφον [διὰ "Ap|reparos, ‘for which you drew me up a bond through Artemas” (Edd.), 26. III. 482°8 (A.D. 109) ἀκολούθως 1 περιὼν ἔθετο, “in accordance with the will which he drew up in his lifetime” (Edd.), P Strass I. 4*4 (A.p. 550) an attesting signatory—paprupa τῇ μισθώσει ἀκούσας Tapa τοῦ θεμέν(ου). - See also P Tebt II. 4o8* (A.D. 3) ἐπιστάμενος πῶς σε τίθεμαι κὲ φιλώ, ‘*since you know how I esteem and love you” (Edd.). (4) The word is used in financial transactions with reference to the borrower, e.g. P Grenf II. 318 (B.c. 104) ὁμολογεῖ Χαιρήμων ... ἀπέχειν παρὰ ἸΠαοῦτος τοῦ “Qpov τὸ ἐπιβάλλον αὐτῷ μέρος δανείου οὗ ἔθετο ΠΠατοῦς “Ὥρου, and P Oxy XIV. 1644" (8.6. 63-62) περὶ οὗ ἔθετο ὁ Μοσχίων τῆι τῶν ὁμολογούντων μητρί, ‘concerning the money which Moschion borrowed from the mother of the acknowledging parties.” (5) Some grammatical forms may be noted. A form τιθέω (118) is supposed by the comp": ὑποτιθοῦσα in BGU 1. 35018 (time of Trajan), and for a passive τίθομαι note the comp* παρακατατίθομαι in 720. 3261-16 (A.p,. 180). The aor. ἔθηκα is seen in Afaen 677 (c. ἔθησα see Radermacher Gy. p. 79. hans Gr. inscrr. B.C, 200?): for According to Meisterp- 189 τέθηκα is the only perfect found in Attic from B.C. 400 to B.C. 200; the form τέθεικα first makes its appearance in i/B.c.: but cf. from the papyri UFZ i. 624 (before B.c. 161 or 160) ἐκτέθεικα. The passive τέθειμαι, whose place is often taken by κεῖμαι, as in Phil 115, may be illustrated from BGU IV. 1208? (B.c. 27-26) πέπομφά σοι ἣν τέθειται μίσθωσιν.
