אַבְרֵךְ a word uttered by the herald before Joseph’s chariot, Genesis 41:43. If it were Hebrew it might be thought to be the inf. abs. Hiph. (from the root בָּרַךְ) which is properly הַבְרֵךְ (compare אַשְׁכֵּים for הַשְׁכֵּים, Jeremiah 25:3), used in this place for the imperative, so that it might be, bow the knee. Vulg. clamante prœcone, ut omnes coram eo genua flecterent, so also Abulwalid and Kimchi, compare Lehrgeb. p. 319. But it is more probable that this is a word of Egyptian origin, so inflected and altered by the Hebrew writer, that although a foreign word it should sound like Hebrew, and might be derived from roots of their language; compare חַם, משֶׁה, פַּרְעֹה. And the Egyptian word which is concealed in אַבְרֵךְ is probably either Au-rek, i.e. “let every one bow himself” (in an optative sense), or, as I prefer, Aperek, i.e. “bow the head.” Jablonskii Opusc. ed. te Water, tom. i. p. 4; Rossii Etymologiæ Ægypt. s. v. Luther, in the later German editions of the Bible, diefes ift der Landesvater. אב he takes as father, and דֵךְ Ch. king; comp. אָב No. 5.
