Berean Strong's Lexicon masseketh: Covering, web, woven work Original Word: מַסֶּכֶת Word Origin: Derived from the root verb נָסַךְ (nasak), meaning "to pour out" or "to cast." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "masseketh," related concepts of weaving and craftsmanship can be found in Greek terms such as ὑφαντός (hyphantos, G5307), meaning "woven." Usage: The term "masseketh" refers to a covering or a woven work, often used in the context of a physical object that is crafted or constructed. It can imply a sense of intricacy and skill in its creation, reflecting the careful and deliberate work of a craftsman. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, weaving and crafting were essential skills, particularly in the creation of garments, tents, and other necessary items for daily life.
