Strong's Lexicon miskenoth: Store cities, storage cities, treasure cities Original Word: מִסְכְּנָה Word Origin: Derived from the root סָכַן (sakan), meaning "to be of use, benefit, or to dwell." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, as "miskenoth" is specific to the Hebrew context of the Old Testament. However, related concepts of storage and treasuries can be found in Greek terms like "θησαυρός" (thēsauros - G2344), meaning "treasure" or "storehouse." Usage: The term "miskenoth" refers to cities or places designated for storing goods, particularly grain and other resources. In the biblical context, these were often built by the Israelites during their time of enslavement in Egypt, as part of Pharaoh's efforts to consolidate wealth and resources. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Egypt, store cities were crucial for managing the empire's resources, especially during times of famine or economic planning. These cities were strategically located to facilitate the collection, storage, and distribution of goods. The construction of such cities by the Israelites under Pharaoh's command highlights the oppressive conditions they faced, as they were forced into labor to build these monumental projects.
