Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "miphsaah," the concept of a step or threshold can be related to Greek terms like "βαίνω" (baino), meaning "to walk" or "to step," and "πύλη" (pyle), meaning "gate" or "entrance." Usage: The term "miphsaah" refers to a step or a threshold, often used in the context of a physical step or a figurative transition. It can denote a literal step in a staircase or a symbolic step in a journey or process. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, thresholds were significant as they marked the entrance to a home or sacred space. Crossing a threshold often symbolized entering into a covenant or a new phase of life. The concept of a "step" also held metaphorical meaning, representing progress or movement in one's spiritual or communal journey.
