Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent concept can be found in the New Testament with the word "τύπος" (typos), Strong's Greek 5179, which also means "pattern" or "example."

Usage: The Hebrew word "toknith" refers to a pattern, plan, or design. It is used in the context of a detailed and intentional arrangement or blueprint, often implying divine or purposeful design. In the biblical context, it can refer to the plans or designs given by God for specific purposes, such as the construction of the tabernacle or the temple.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of a "pattern" or "design" was significant, especially in religious contexts. The Israelites believed that God provided specific instructions and designs for sacred spaces and objects, which were to be followed precisely. This reflects the broader ancient Near Eastern understanding of divine order and the importance of adhering to divine instructions in religious practices.
