Strong's Lexicon madbach: Altar Original Word: מַדְבַּח Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּבַח (dābach), meaning "to slaughter" or "to sacrifice." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2379 θυσιαστήριον (thysiastērion): Refers to an altar, particularly in the context of the New Testament, where it is used to describe the altar in the Temple and metaphorically in the book of Hebrews. Usage: The term "madbach" refers to an altar, a structure upon which offerings or sacrifices are made to God. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, altars were central to worship and religious practices, serving as the designated place for presenting burnt offerings, grain offerings, and other sacrifices as prescribed by the Mosaic Law. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, altars were integral to the worship of Yahweh. They were often constructed from earth or uncut stones, as instructed in Exodus 20:24-25. The altar was a sacred space where the divine and human realms intersected, symbolizing God's presence and the people's devotion. The most significant altar in Israelite history was the altar of burnt offering in the Tabernacle and later in the Temple in Jerusalem, where daily sacrifices were made to atone for the sins of the people and to maintain a covenant relationship with God.
