It is nearly impossible to teach an Arab servant to knock at your door. They give warning at the outer gate or entrance either by calling or knocking. To stand and call is a very common and respectful mode. Thus Moses commanded the holder of a pledge to stand without, and call to the owner to come forth (Deu 24:10). This was to avoid the violent intrusion of cruel creditors. Peter stood knocking at the outer door (Act 12:13; Act 12:16), and so did the three men sent to Joppa by Cornelius (Act 10:17-18).

At night the delay would be increased by the difficulty of arousing the inmates sleeping within the inner chambers. To persons familiar with such experiences, the words of Jesus concerning a higher entrance, Knock, and it shall be opened unto you (Mat 7:7; Luk 12:36), would have a unique force not easy for us to appreciate.<\/p>\n “to strike, knock,” is used in the NT of “knocking” at a door, (a) literally, Luk 12:36<\/span>; Act 12:13<\/span>, Act 12:16<\/span>; (b) figuratively, Mat 7:7-8<\/span>; Luk 11:9-10<\/span> (of importunity in dealing with God); Luk 13:25<\/span>; Rev 3:20<\/span>. <\/p>\n Knock (, Son 5:2; “beat,” Jdg 19:22; , Mat 7:7; Rev 3:20, etc.). ” Though Orientals are very jealous of their privacy, they never knock when about to enter your room, but walk in without warning or ceremony.
