Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb כָּסָה (kasah), meaning "to cover" or "to conceal." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence in the Greek Septuagint for every Hebrew term, the concept of a covering can be related to Greek terms such as σκέπη (skepē), meaning "covering" or "shelter," and ἐπισκιάζω (episkiazō), meaning "to overshadow" or "to cover," which are used in the New Testament to convey similar ideas of protection and divine presence. Usage: The term מִכְסֶה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a covering, often in the context of protective layers or coverings for structures, such as the tabernacle. Context: • The Hebrew word מִכְסֶה (mikseh) appears in the context of the construction and description of the tabernacle in the wilderness. It refers to the outermost covering of the tabernacle, which served as a protective layer against the elements. This covering was made from durable materials, such as ram skins dyed red and other animal hides, to ensure the tabernacle's protection from weather conditions. • In Exodus 26:14, the term is used to describe the specific layers of covering for the tabernacle: "Also make for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of fine leather." • The use of מִכְסֶה highlights the importance of safeguarding sacred spaces and objects, reflecting the care and reverence required in the construction of the tabernacle, which was central to the worship and religious life of the Israelites. • The concept of a covering in biblical terms often extends beyond the physical, symbolizing protection, concealment, and divine provision.
