Word Origin: Derived from the root יָצַק (yatsaq), which means "to pour out" or "to cast." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for מוּצָק in the Strong's Concordance, related concepts of casting and forming can be found in Greek terms such as χωνεύω (choneuō • to melt, to cast) and πλάσσω (plassō • to form, to mold). These terms capture similar ideas of shaping and forming materials, particularly in the context of craftsmanship and artistry. Usage: The word מוּצָק appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts related to the casting of metals or the formation of solid objects. It is used to describe the process or result of pouring molten material into a mold to create a solid form. Context: • מוּצָק (mutsaq) is a noun that appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe objects or materials that have been cast or formed through the process of pouring. This term is often associated with the work of craftsmen, particularly in the context of creating objects from metal. The process of casting involves melting a material, typically metal, and pouring it into a mold where it cools and solidifies into the desired shape. • In the biblical context, מוּצָק is used to describe various objects, including idols and other crafted items. The use of this term highlights the skill and artistry involved in ancient metalworking, as well as the permanence and solidity of the objects created through this process. • The concept of casting is significant in the biblical narrative, as it often relates to the creation of idols or other objects of worship, which were forbidden by the commandments given to the Israelites. The use of מוּצָק in these contexts underscores the tension between the craftsmanship involved in creating such objects and the prohibition against idolatry.
