Strong's Lexicon miphqad: Muster, appointment, numbering, inspection Original Word: מִפְקָד Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּקַד (paqad), which means to attend to, muster, number, or appoint. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, related concepts of mustering or numbering can be found in Greek terms such as στρατολογέω (stratologeo - to enlist soldiers) or ἀριθμέω (arithmeo - to count or number). Usage: The term "miphqad" refers to a place of assembly or a designated location for mustering troops, conducting inspections, or taking a census. It is associated with organization, order, and preparation, often in a military or administrative context. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of mustering or numbering was significant for both military and religious purposes. The Israelites conducted censuses to organize their tribes for battle and to allocate responsibilities within the community. The "miphqad" was a place where such activities were carried out, reflecting the structured and communal nature of Israelite society. This term also underscores the importance of accountability and readiness in the life of the nation.
