Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "mequtsah," the concept of boundaries and extremities can be found in Greek terms such as πέρας (peras), meaning "end" or "limit," and ὅριον (horion), meaning "boundary" or "border."

Usage: The term "mequtsah" refers to the end or extremity of something, often used in a literal sense to describe the physical boundaries or edges of an object or area. It can also imply the conclusion or final part of a sequence or event.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, understanding the boundaries and extremities of land, objects, or time periods was crucial for maintaining order and structure. The concept of "mequtsah" would have been significant in contexts such as land division, architectural design, and the demarcation of sacred spaces. The Israelites, with their emphasis on covenantal land promises, would have been particularly attentive to the boundaries and extremities of their allotted territories.
