Strong's Lexicon Maqheloth: Makheloth Original Word: מַקְהֵלת Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root קהל (qahal), meaning "assembly" or "congregation." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Maqheloth, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of assembly or congregation is related to the Greek word ἐκκλησία (ekklesia), Strong's Greek 1577, which is often translated as "church" or "assembly" in the New Testament. Usage: Maqheloth is a place name mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the Israelites' wilderness journey. It is one of the stations or encampments where the Israelites camped during their 40-year journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. Cultural and Historical Background: The journey of the Israelites through the wilderness is a significant period in biblical history, representing a time of testing, reliance on God, and preparation for entering the Promised Land. Each encampment, including Maqheloth, marks a stage in this journey, reflecting both the physical and spiritual challenges faced by the Israelites. The name itself, derived from the concept of assembly, may indicate a place where the Israelites gathered for worship or communal activities.
