Strong's Lexicon mikseh: Covering, Cover Original Word: מִכְסֶה Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: mikceh Pronunciation: mik-SEH Phonetic Spelling: (mik-seh') Definition: Covering, Cover Meaning: a covering, weatherboarding 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 "mikseh," the concept of covering can be related to Greek words such as "σκέπη" (skepē, Strong's G4639), meaning "covering" or "shelter." Usage: The Hebrew word "mikseh" primarily refers to a covering or a protective layer. It is often used in the context of physical coverings, such as those used in the construction of the Tabernacle, where it describes the outer layers that provided protection and concealment for the sacred structure. The term can also imply a metaphorical covering, symbolizing protection or concealment by God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, coverings were significant both practically and symbolically. Practically, they provided protection from the elements, while symbolically, they represented God's protection and presence. The Tabernacle, a central place of worship for the Israelites, was covered with various layers, each with specific materials and symbolic meanings, reflecting the holiness and sanctity of the space.
