Exegesis
Finally, the aorist imperative proskynēson {προσκύνησον | pros-ký-nē-son} ‘worship’ with the dative theō {θεῷ | the-ō} demands exclusive divine veneration. In translation, the dense genitive phrases are rendered as prepositional and descriptive clauses to preserve clarity and maintain the parallelism that underscores the messenger’s co-servant role contrasted with exclusive worship due only to God.
