Strong's Lexicon masak: Covering, screen, curtain Original Word: מָסָךְ Word Origin: From the root verb סָכַךְ (sakak), meaning "to cover" or "to weave." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2665 (καταπέτασμα, katapetasma): Refers to the veil or curtain in the temple, similar in function to the Hebrew masak. Usage: The Hebrew word "masak" refers to a covering or screen, often used in the context of the tabernacle or temple. It denotes a physical barrier or partition, typically made of woven materials, that serves both a functional and symbolic purpose. In the tabernacle, the masak was used to separate sacred spaces, providing a boundary between the holy and the common. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the tabernacle was the central place of worship and the dwelling place of God's presence among His people. The masak played a crucial role in the tabernacle's design, serving as a veil or screen that demarcated the Holy of Holies, where the Ark of the Covenant was kept. This separation underscored the holiness of God and the need for reverence and purity in approaching Him. The use of fine materials and skilled craftsmanship in creating the masak reflected the importance of worship and the sacredness of the space.
