Strong's Lexicon shaquph: Overhanging, latticed Original Word: שָׁקֻף Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁקַף (shaqaf), meaning "to look out" or "to overlook." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of latticed or overhanging structures can be related to Greek terms describing architectural features, such as "θυρίδες" (thyrides) for windows or openings. Usage: The term "shaquph" is used to describe something that is latticed or overhanging, often in the context of architectural features such as windows or openings. It conveys the idea of something that provides a view or allows light to pass through while maintaining a degree of separation or protection. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite architecture, windows and openings were often latticed to allow for ventilation and light while providing security and privacy. Latticed windows were common in homes and public buildings, reflecting a practical approach to the climate and social customs of the time. The use of latticework also had aesthetic value, contributing to the beauty and design of structures.
