Strong's Lexicon moqed: Hearth, fire-place, burning place Original Word: מוֹקֵד Word Origin: Derived from the root יָקַד (yaqad), meaning "to burn" or "to kindle." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "moqed," the concept of a hearth or altar fire can be related to Greek terms such as πυρά (pura, meaning "fire" or "pyre") and θυσιαστήριον (thysiastērion, meaning "altar"). Usage: The term "moqed" refers to a place where a fire is kept burning, such as a hearth or a fire-place. It is used in the context of a location where a continuous fire is maintained, often for warmth or cooking. In the biblical context, it can also refer to the altar fire used for sacrifices. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the hearth was a central part of the home, providing warmth and a place to prepare food. The concept of a perpetual fire was significant in religious practices, particularly in the context of the Tabernacle and Temple, where the altar fire was to be kept burning continuously as a symbol of God's eternal presence and the ongoing need for atonement and worship.
