Strong's Lexicon miqsheh: Hammered work, beaten work Original Word: מִקְשֶׁה Word Origin: Derived from the root קָשָׁה (qashah), meaning "to be hard" or "to be difficult." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "miqsheh" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific term related to Hebrew craftsmanship and the Tabernacle. Usage: The term "miqsheh" refers to objects made from metal that have been hammered or beaten into shape. It is often used in the context of describing items made for the Tabernacle, such as the golden lampstand (menorah) and other sacred furnishings. The process of hammering indicates a single piece of metal worked into a desired form, emphasizing craftsmanship and unity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, craftsmanship was highly valued, especially in the construction of the Tabernacle and its furnishings. The use of "miqsheh" highlights the skill and artistry involved in creating sacred objects. The Tabernacle, as the dwelling place of God among His people, required the finest materials and workmanship, symbolizing the holiness and perfection of God. The hammered work also reflects the unity and integrity of the objects, as they were made from a single piece of metal.
