Strong's Lexicon menaqqith: Snuff dish, ashtray Original Word: מְנַקִּית Word Origin: Derived from the root נָקָה (naqah), meaning "to be clean" or "to cleanse." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "menaqqith" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it pertains specifically to Hebrew temple practices. However, related concepts of cleansing and purification can be found in Greek terms like καθαρίζω (katharizō - Strong's Greek 2511), meaning "to cleanse." Usage: The term "menaqqith" refers to a vessel or container used in the context of the tabernacle or temple service, specifically for holding the ashes or snuffings from the lamps. It is associated with the maintenance and care of the sacred lamps, ensuring they remain clean and functional for worship. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite worship, the tabernacle and later the temple were central places of worship where various rituals and sacrifices were performed. The menorah, a seven-branched lampstand, was an important fixture in these sacred spaces. The priests were responsible for maintaining the menorah, which included trimming the wicks and removing the ashes. The "menaqqith" was a practical tool used in this process, highlighting the importance of cleanliness and order in worship practices.
