Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for חָשֻׁק in the Strong's Concordance, as the concept of a connecting rod or fence-rail is specific to the Hebrew context of the Tabernacle's construction. However, the idea of connection and support can be thematically related to Greek terms that denote unity and structure within the body of Christ, such as σύνδεσμος (syndesmos • Strong's Greek 4886), meaning "bond" or "that which binds together."

Usage: The word חָשֻׁק is used in the context of describing the construction elements of the Tabernacle, particularly in the book of Exodus. It refers to the rods or bars that connect the pillars or posts, providing structural integrity and support.

Context: The term חָשֻׁק appears in the context of the construction of the Tabernacle, as described in the book of Exodus. In Exodus 27:17, the word is used to describe the rods that connect the pillars of the courtyard of the Tabernacle. These rods, or fence-rails, were essential for maintaining the stability and alignment of the structure. The use of חָשֻׁק highlights the importance of connection and support within the sacred space, symbolizing unity and cohesion among the elements of the Tabernacle. The construction of the Tabernacle, with its detailed specifications, reflects the divine order and precision required in the worship of God. The rods, as described by חָשֻׁק, serve not only a practical purpose but also a symbolic one, representing the interconnectedness of the community of faith and their collective support in upholding the sacred covenant.
