Strong's Lexicon mutsaq: Cast metal, molten, poured out Original Word: מוּצָק 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 can be related to Greek terms like χωνευτός (choneutos), which refers to something 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 Israel, metalworking was a significant craft, and the process of casting metal was a common technique for creating tools, weapons, and religious artifacts. The use of cast metal was prevalent in the construction of the tabernacle and the temple, as well as in the making of idols, which were often condemned by the prophets. The ability to work with metals like bronze and gold was a sign of technological advancement and skill.
