Usage: The term מִקְלַעַת is used in the context of describing artistic works, particularly those that involve a form of twisting or braiding, such as in the construction of the tabernacle or temple.

It is specifically mentioned in the description of the tabernacle's design, where skilled artisans crafted intricate works to adorn the holy place. The term highlights the artistry and craftsmanship involved in creating objects that were not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing and symbolically significant. The use of מִקְלַעַת underscores the importance of beauty and detail in worship settings, reflecting the divine order and creativity. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is translated in a way that captures the essence of these artistic expressions, emphasizing the skill and care involved in their creation.
