Usage: The Hebrew word "nebek" refers to a lattice or network, often used in the context of architectural or ornamental design. It describes a structure made of interwoven or crisscrossed materials, typically used for decorative purposes or as a protective covering. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite architecture, lattices were commonly used in buildings for both practical and aesthetic purposes. They allowed for ventilation and light while providing a measure of privacy and security. Lattices were often made from wood or metal and could be found in windows, gates, and other structural elements. The concept of interweaving also held symbolic significance, representing strength, unity, and the intricate design of God's creation.
