Strong's Lexicon masger: Prison, enclosure, confinement Original Word: מַסְגֵּר Word Origin: Derived from the root סָגַר (sagar), meaning "to shut" or "to close." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5438 (phylake): Often translated as "prison" or "guard," this Greek term shares a similar meaning with "masger" in the context of confinement or imprisonment. Usage: The term "masger" refers to a place of confinement or imprisonment. It is used in the context of being shut in or enclosed, often indicating a physical space where individuals are held captive or restrained. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, imprisonment was not as common as other forms of punishment such as fines, corporal punishment, or exile. However, when used, prisons were typically rudimentary enclosures or rooms where individuals were detained. The concept of imprisonment in biblical times often carried a strong sense of shame and was associated with divine judgment or social disgrace.
