However, specific Strong's Greek entries that correspond directly to the Hebrew term are not readily available, as the architectural terminology may vary between Hebrew and Greek contexts. Usage: The term מִסְעָד is used in the context of architectural features, specifically referring to a balustrade or railing that provides support or protection. Context: The Hebrew term מִסְעָד (mis'ad) appears in the context of ancient architectural design, signifying a structural element that offers support and safety. In biblical times, such features were integral to the construction of buildings, particularly in areas where elevation changes required protective barriers. The concept of a balustrade is consistent with the broader biblical theme of providing support and protection, both physically and spiritually. While the term itself is not frequently used in the biblical text, its presence underscores the importance of safety and stability in the design of sacred and communal spaces. The root סָעַד (sa'ad) further emphasizes the notion of support, which is a recurring theme in the scriptures, often metaphorically applied to God's sustaining power for His people.
