◄ 4906. maskith ►
Strong's Lexicon maskith: Image, figure, idol, showpiece Original Word: מַשְׂכִּית Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: maskiyth Pronunciation: mahs-KEETH Phonetic Spelling: (mas-keeth') Definition: Image, figure, idol, showpiece Meaning: a figure, imagination Word Origin: Derived from the root verb שָׂכָה (sakah), meaning "to contemplate" or "to behold." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is εἴδωλον (eidolon), Strong's Greek #1497, which also refers to an idol or image. Usage: The term "maskith" generally refers to a representation or image, often associated with idolatrous practices. It is used in the context of prohibitions against creating or worshiping graven images or idols. The word can denote a physical object that is crafted to represent a deity or serve as an object of worship, which is strictly forbidden in the Hebrew Scriptures. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the creation and worship of idols were common practices. These idols were often seen as physical manifestations of deities and were used in various religious rituals. The Israelites, however, were commanded by God to worship Him alone and to avoid the creation of any physical representation of Him or other gods. This command was part of the broader covenant relationship between God and Israel, emphasizing His transcendence and the prohibition of idolatry.
