Strong's Lexicon makber: Grating, network, lattice Original Word: מַכְבֵּר Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּבַר (kabar), meaning "to weave" or "to intertwine." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of lattice or network can be related to Greek terms like δικτύωμα (diktýōma), meaning "net" or "network," which appears in contexts involving fishing nets or woven structures. Usage: The term "makber" refers to a type of grating or latticework, often used in the context of construction or design, particularly in the tabernacle or temple settings. It denotes a woven or interlaced structure, typically made of metal, that serves both functional and decorative purposes. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the use of latticework or grating was common in sacred architecture. The tabernacle and later the temple incorporated intricate designs that symbolized order, beauty, and divine craftsmanship. Such structures were not only practical, providing ventilation and protection, but also held symbolic significance, representing the interwoven relationship between God and His people.
