Strong's Lexicon mesukkah: Hedge, protection, covering Original Word: מְסֻכָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root סָכַךְ (sakhakh), meaning "to cover" or "to hedge." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of protection or covering is περίβολος (peribolos), meaning "enclosure" or "fence." Usage: The term "mesukkah" refers to a protective barrier or hedge, often used metaphorically to describe God's protection over His people. It conveys the idea of a shelter or safeguard that provides security and safety from external threats. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, hedges were commonly used in agriculture to protect vineyards and fields from animals and intruders. This imagery was familiar to the Israelites and was often used in Scripture to symbolize divine protection. The concept of a hedge also appears in the context of spiritual protection, where God is seen as a shield or fortress for His people.
