Strong's Lexicon masak: To pour, to mix, to weave, to cover Original Word: מָסַךְ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3408 (misthos): While not a direct translation, this Greek word for "reward" or "wages" can metaphorically relate to the concept of mixing or preparing, as in preparing a reward. - G2767 (kataskeuazo): Meaning "to prepare" or "to construct," this Greek term aligns with the idea of preparation and covering. Usage: The Hebrew verb "masak" primarily means to pour or mix, often in the context of preparing a drink. It can also mean to weave or cover, suggesting the act of overlaying or spreading something over another. This term is used in various contexts, including the preparation of anointing oil, the mixing of wine, and the construction of the tabernacle. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the act of pouring or mixing was significant in both daily life and religious practices. Mixing wine was a common practice, as undiluted wine was often too strong to consume. The preparation of anointing oil, which involved mixing various spices, was a sacred task, reserved for consecrating priests and sacred objects. The concept of covering or overlaying is also seen in the construction of the tabernacle, where specific materials were used to cover the sacred space, symbolizing protection and sanctity.
