Strong's Lexicon Miphqad: Muster, appointment, inspection Original Word: מִפְקָד Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּקַד (paqad), which means "to visit, attend to, muster, appoint." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of inspection or appointment can be related to Greek terms like ἐπισκοπή (episkopē - Strong's G1984), which means "oversight" or "visitation." Usage: The term "Miphqad" is used in the context of an appointed place or a designated area for gathering, inspection, or mustering. It carries the connotation of organization and order, often related to military or administrative settings. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of mustering or inspection was crucial for maintaining order and readiness, especially in military contexts. The "Gate of Miphqad" mentioned in Nehemiah was likely a place where troops were assembled and inspected, reflecting the importance of preparedness and accountability in the community.
