Strong's Lexicon mathkoneth or mathkuneth: Measure, proportion, pattern Original Word: מַתְכנֶת Word Origin: Derived from the root word תָּכַן (takan), which means "to measure" or "to regulate." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of measurement and pattern can be related to Greek words like μέτρον (metron - G3358), which means "measure." Usage: The term "mathkoneth" or "mathkuneth" refers to a measure, proportion, or pattern. It is used in the context of describing something that is measured or regulated according to a specific standard or design. This word emphasizes the concept of order and precision, often in relation to construction or craftsmanship. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, precise measurements and patterns were crucial, especially in the construction of sacred spaces like the Tabernacle and the Temple. The use of "mathkoneth" reflects the importance of adhering to divine instructions and maintaining order, which was a significant aspect of Israelite culture and religious practice. The concept of measurement also extended to moral and ethical standards, where God's laws provided a "measure" for righteous living.
