Brown-Driver-Briggs [מִיכָל] noun [masculine] brook, stream (?) (dubious word, compare Dron the passage HPS), construct מִיכַל הַמָּ֑יִם 2 Samuel 17:20. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root מִיכָל, which is related to the concept of containing or holding.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry that aligns with the concept of a small or minor form is Strong's Greek Number G3398, μικρός (mikros), which means "small" or "little." This Greek term captures the diminutive aspect of מִיכָל when referring to a "streamlet" or a minor container, emphasizing the modest size or scale of the object or feature described. Usage: The word מִיכָל is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe objects that hold or contain substances, as well as small streams or rivulets. Its usage is relatively rare and context-dependent, often requiring interpretation based on surrounding text. Context: מִיכָל (Mikhal) appears in the Hebrew Bible as a term that signifies containment or the act of holding. This can be applied to physical objects such as vessels or containers used for storing liquids or other materials. The secondary meaning, "streamlet," extends the concept of containment to natural formations, where the banks of a stream hold the flowing water within. The term is not frequently encountered in the biblical text, and its specific application can vary based on the narrative or poetic context in which it appears. The dual meanings reflect the versatility of the term in describing both man-made and natural forms of containment.
