Strong's Lexicon mikbar: Grating, network Original Word: מַכְבָּר Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּבַר (kabar), meaning "to weave" or "to entwine." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "mikbar," the concept of a grating or network can be related to the Greek word "δικτύωμα" (dikyōma), meaning "net" or "network." Usage: The term "mikbar" refers to a woven or latticed structure, often used in the context of the tabernacle or temple furnishings. It typically describes a grating or network made of metal, such as bronze, used in the construction of altars or other sacred objects. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the tabernacle and later the temple were central places of worship and sacrifice. The use of metal gratings, or "mikbar," in these sacred spaces was both functional and symbolic. These structures allowed for the proper burning of sacrifices, ensuring that offerings were consumed by fire in a manner that was pleasing to God. The craftsmanship involved in creating these gratings reflected the Israelites' dedication to following divine instructions for worship.
