Usage: The term מַשְׁקוֹף is used in the context of architecture, particularly in describing the structural component of a doorway. It is mentioned in the context of the Passover in the Book of Exodus, where the lintel is marked with blood as a sign for the angel of death to pass over the house. Context: מַשְׁקוֹף appears in the Hebrew Bible in the context of the Passover narrative. In Exodus 12:7, the Israelites are instructed to take some of the blood of the Passover lamb and apply it to the two doorposts and the lintel of their houses. This act serves as a protective sign, ensuring that the Lord will pass over the house and not allow the destroyer to enter and strike down the firstborn. The lintel, as a structural element, symbolizes the threshold of the home and, in this context, becomes a critical component in the divine protection of the Israelites. The use of מַשְׁקוֹף highlights the importance of obedience to God's commands and the significance of the Passover as a foundational event in Israelite history.
