Strong's Lexicon qubbah: Dome, vault Original Word: קֻבָּה Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to arch Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance that matches the specific architectural nuance of "qubbah." However, Greek terms related to structures or coverings, such as "στέγη" (stegē - roof) or "θόλος" (tholos - dome), may be conceptually related. Usage: The Hebrew word "qubbah" refers to a dome or a vaulted structure. It is used to describe architectural features that are rounded or arched, often serving as a covering or a roof. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern architecture, domes and vaulted structures were significant both for their aesthetic appeal and their functional purpose. They were often used in the construction of temples, palaces, and other important buildings. The use of domes symbolized grandeur and the heavens, reflecting the cultural emphasis on the divine and the celestial.
