Strong's Lexicon nishkah: Chamber, Room Original Word: נִשְׁכָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁכַח (shakach), meaning "to forget" or "to overlook." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "nishkah," the concept of temple chambers can be related to Greek terms such as "ταμεῖον" (tameion), meaning "inner room" or "storeroom," used in the New Testament to describe private or inner spaces (e.g., Matthew 6:6). Usage: The term "nishkah" refers to a chamber or room, often used in the context of temple architecture or other significant buildings. It denotes a space that is set apart for specific purposes, such as storage or meetings. In the context of the temple, these chambers were integral to the functioning and organization of temple activities. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the temple was not only a place of worship but also a center for community and religious life. The chambers, or "nishkah," within the temple complex served various functions, including storage of sacred items, meeting places for priests, and administrative purposes. These rooms were essential for maintaining the order and sanctity of temple operations.
