Strong's Lexicon miksah: Covering, covering for protection Original Word: מִכְסָה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: mikcah Pronunciation: mik-saw' Phonetic Spelling: (mik-saw') Definition: Covering, covering for protection Meaning: an enumeration, a valuation Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּסָה (kasah), meaning "to cover" or "to conceal." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "miksah," the concept of covering can be related to Greek terms such as ἐπισκιάζω (episkiazō - to overshadow) and σκέπη (skepē - covering, shelter). Usage: The term "miksah" refers to a covering or protective layer. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it is often used to describe a physical covering, such as a protective layer over a structure or object. It conveys the idea of something that provides shelter, protection, or concealment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, coverings were essential for protection against the elements, such as the sun, wind, and rain. They were also used in religious contexts, such as coverings for the tabernacle or sacred objects, symbolizing God's protection and presence. The concept of covering extends to spiritual protection, where God is seen as a refuge and shield for His people.
