Strong's Lexicon miqtsoa: Corner, angle Original Word: מַקְצוֹעַ Word Origin: Derived from the root קָצַע (qatsa), meaning "to cut off" or "to cut to pieces." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1137 (γωνία, gōnia): Meaning "corner" or "angle," used in the New Testament to describe the cornerstone, as in Ephesians 2:20. Usage: The Hebrew word "miqtsoa" refers to a corner or an angle, often used in the context of architectural structures. It denotes the point where two lines or surfaces meet, forming a corner. In the biblical context, it is used to describe the corners of buildings, altars, or other constructed items. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite architecture, corners were significant in the construction of buildings and altars. They were often seen as points of strength and stability. The corners of altars, for example, were sometimes adorned with horns, symbolizing power and protection. The concept of corners also held symbolic meaning, representing completeness and the encompassing nature of God's presence.
