Strong's Lexicon karkob: Rim, border, ledge Original Word: כַּרְכֹּב Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to encircle Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of a rim or border can be related to Greek terms used in the New Testament for boundaries or edges, such as "περίμετρος" (perimetros) meaning perimeter. Usage: The Hebrew word "karkob" refers to a rim or border, often used in the context of architectural or structural elements. It denotes a surrounding edge or ledge, typically found in descriptions of sacred or significant objects, such as altars or tables, within the tabernacle or temple. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the construction and design of sacred spaces and objects were of paramount importance. The use of "karkob" in the context of the tabernacle or temple signifies the attention to detail and the importance of boundaries and order in worship practices. The rim or border served both a functional and symbolic purpose, delineating sacred space and ensuring the integrity of holy objects.
