Strong's Lexicon meqerah: Lattice, network, or covering Original Word: מְקֵרָה Word Origin: Derived from the root קָרָה (qarah), meaning "to happen" or "to meet." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance that matches "meqerah" exactly. However, the concept of a lattice or network might be related to Greek terms describing similar architectural features, such as "δικτύωμα" (diktyoma), meaning "net" or "network." Usage: The term "meqerah" refers to a lattice or network structure, often used in the context of architectural elements in ancient buildings. It implies a covering or a protective grid, typically made of wood or metal, that allows for ventilation and light while providing security and privacy. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite architecture, lattices were common features in homes and public buildings. They served both functional and aesthetic purposes, allowing air and light to enter while maintaining privacy and security. Lattices were often used in windows or as decorative elements in larger structures. The use of such architectural features reflects the practical needs of the time, as well as the artistic expressions of the culture.
