Berean Strong's Lexicon lishkah: Chamber, Room Original Word: לִשְׁכָּה Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to lie along or to recline. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of a chamber or room can be related to Greek terms such as ταμεῖον (tameion - G5009), which means an inner room or storehouse. Usage: The Hebrew word "lishkah" refers to a chamber or room, often used in the context of temple or palace architecture. It denotes a space designated for specific purposes, such as storage, meetings, or other functions related to the administration and rituals of the temple. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the temple was not only a place of worship but also a center for community and religious administration. Chambers or rooms (lishkah) within the temple complex served various functions, including storage of sacred items, meeting places for priests, and spaces for preparing offerings. These chambers were integral to the daily operations and maintenance of the temple, reflecting the organized and sacred nature of worship in Israelite society.
