Strong's Lexicon mutseqeth: Casting, Molten Original Word: מוּצָקָה Word Origin: Derived from the root יָצַק (yatsaq), meaning "to pour out" or "to cast." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for casting or molding in the context of idols or metalwork is often related to the word χωνευτός (choneutos), which also refers to something that is molten or cast. Usage: The term "mutseqeth" refers to something that has been cast or molded, typically in metal. It is used in the context of objects that are formed by pouring molten material into a mold, such as idols or other crafted items. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, casting was a common technique used in the creation of various objects, including idols, tools, and ornaments. The process involved melting metal and pouring it into a mold to create a desired shape. This method was prevalent in the ancient Near East and was often associated with the creation of religious artifacts. The use of cast metal objects is frequently mentioned in the context of idolatry, which was a significant concern for the Israelites as they were commanded to worship Yahweh alone.
