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.
