Strong's Lexicon shelabbim: Lattice, network, or interwoven work Original Word: שָׁלָב Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁלַב (shalab), meaning "to join" or "to interlace." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of latticework can be related to Greek terms describing similar architectural features, such as δικτύωμα (dikyōma), meaning "network" or "netting." Usage: The term "shelabbim" refers to a lattice or network structure, often used architecturally to describe a decorative or functional interwoven design. It is typically associated with structures that allow light and air to pass through while providing a degree of privacy or security. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern architecture, lattices were common in both domestic and sacred buildings. They served practical purposes, such as ventilation and light control, while also adding aesthetic value. Lattices could be made from various materials, including wood, metal, or stone, and were often intricately designed to reflect the craftsmanship of the period.
