Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּרַת (karat), meaning "to cut" or "to cut off."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G2716 (κατασκευάζω, kataskeuazō): This Greek term means "to prepare" or "to construct," and it is used in the New Testament to describe the act of building or preparing something, often in a metaphorical sense. The concept of preparation and construction aligns with the Hebrew notion of hewing or cutting materials for a specific purpose.

Usage: The word כָּרֻתָה is used in the context of construction or craftsmanship, where wood is cut and shaped for building purposes. It appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe materials prepared for construction.

Context: • The term כָּרֻתָה is found in the context of ancient construction practices, where timber was a primary material for building structures. The process of hewing involved cutting and shaping wood to fit specific architectural needs. In biblical times, skilled laborers would use tools to cut timber from trees, fashioning them into beams, planks, or other structural components.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the concept of hewn timber is often associated with the construction of significant buildings, such as temples or palaces, where precision and craftsmanship were essential. The use of hewn timber signifies the importance of preparation and the transformation of raw materials into functional and aesthetic elements of a structure.
• The act of cutting or hewing wood is symbolic of transformation and preparation, reflecting the broader biblical themes of creation, craftsmanship, and the human role in shaping the environment according to divine purposes.
