Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to stand or to be firm.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G380: ἀνακεφαλαιόω (anakephalaioō) • to sum up, to bring together under one head. Usage: The term "mezuzah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the door-posts of a house or building. It is most notably associated with the commandment to inscribe the words of the Shema on the door-posts of one's house (Deuteronomy 6:9, 11:20). Context: The term מְזוּזָה (mezuzah) appears in several key passages within the Hebrew Bible, primarily in the context of the Passover and the Shema. In Exodus 12:7, the Israelites are instructed to apply the blood of the Passover lamb to the door-posts (mezuzot) of their homes as a sign for the Lord to pass over their houses during the final plague in Egypt. This act of marking the door-posts signifies protection and obedience to God's command.
