Strong's Lexicon miqlaath: Covering, shelter Original Word: מִקְלַעַת Word Origin: Derived from the root קָלָא (qalal), meaning "to be light" or "to be swift." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent concept can be found in Strong's Greek Dictionary under entries like G4639 (σκιά, skia) meaning "shadow" or "shade," which conveys a similar idea of protection and covering. Usage: The term "miqlaath" refers to a covering or shelter, often used in the context of protection or refuge. It conveys the idea of a place or means of safety, where one can find respite from danger or harm. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of a shelter or covering was significant, both physically and spiritually. Physically, shelters provided protection from the harsh elements and potential threats. Spiritually, the idea of God as a refuge or covering is a recurring theme in the Hebrew Scriptures, symbolizing divine protection and care for His people. The Israelites often sought refuge in God during times of trouble, viewing Him as their ultimate shelter.
