Usage: The term חֶרֶךְ (cherekh) is used in the context of describing a lattice or network structure, often associated with architectural elements or metaphorical uses in scripture.

Context: The Hebrew word חֶרֶךְ (cherekh) appears in the Old Testament to describe a lattice or network, typically in the context of architectural features. This term is used to convey the idea of a structured, interwoven design, often serving as a barrier or decorative element. In the Berean Standard Bible, the word is found in passages that describe the construction and design of buildings, emphasizing the intricate and protective nature of such structures. The lattice serves both functional and aesthetic purposes, providing ventilation and light while maintaining privacy and security. The use of חֶרֶךְ in scripture can also carry metaphorical implications, symbolizing entrapment or confinement, reflecting the root meaning of the word.
