Context: • The Hebrew word מַקְצוֹעַ appears in the context of architectural descriptions, specifically referring to the corners or recesses of buildings. This term is used to describe the structural elements that are not immediately visible or are set apart from the main view.

• The use of מַקְצוֹעַ highlights the attention to detail and the comprehensive nature of the construction, ensuring that every part, even the corners and recesses, is accounted for and serves a purpose in the overall design.
