Strong's Lexicon mutsaq: Cast metal, molten, poured out Original Word: מוּצַק Word Origin: Derived from the root יָצַק (yatsaq), meaning "to pour out" or "to cast." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "mutsaq," the concept of casting or molding is present in the Greek term χωνευτός (choneutos), which also refers to something that is molten or cast. Usage: The term "mutsaq" refers to something that has been cast or poured out, typically in the context of metalwork. It is used to describe objects made by pouring molten metal into a mold, resulting in a solid, formed object. This term is often associated with the creation of idols or other metal objects in the biblical text. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, metalworking was a highly skilled craft. Artisans would melt metals like bronze or gold and pour them into molds to create various objects, including tools, weapons, and idols. The process of casting metal was significant in both religious and practical contexts, as it allowed for the creation of durable and intricate items. In the biblical narrative, the use of cast metal is often associated with idolatry, as seen in the making of the golden calf (Exodus 32).
