[מְסֻכָֿה] noun feminine that with which one is covered, covering; — suffix מְסֻכָֿתָ֑ךָ Ezekiel 28:13 (so Baer Ginsb; van d. H. ׳מְסֻכּ) all precious stones were thy covering (= thou wast covered with them); — the tradition is strong in favour of Raph¢, but sense favours derivation from סכך.

Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root סָכַךְ (sakhakh), meaning "to cover" or "to hedge."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for מְסֻכָּה, the concept of a covering or shelter can be related to Greek terms such as σκέπη (skepē), meaning "covering" or "shelter," and περιβόλαιον (peribolaion), meaning "a covering" or "a wrap." These terms capture the essence of protection and enclosure similar to the Hebrew מְסֻכָּה.

Usage: The term מְסֻכָּה is used in the context of a covering or protective layer, often implying a form of shelter or enclosure.

Context: • The Hebrew word מְסֻכָּה appears in the context of describing a form of covering or protective layer. It is derived from the root סָכַךְ, which conveys the idea of covering or shielding. This term is used to describe physical coverings, such as those used in construction or as a form of protection.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, מְסֻכָּה is translated in contexts that emphasize its function as a protective or decorative covering. The word is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, but when it appears, it often carries the connotation of a shelter or a form of protection that is both functional and ornamental.
• The concept of a covering is significant in biblical literature, often symbolizing divine protection or the provision of safety and security. מְסֻכָּה, therefore, can be seen as a metaphor for God's protective care over His people, as well as a literal description of physical structures that provide shelter.
