Usage: The term קֶרֶס is used in the context of the construction of the Tabernacle, specifically referring to hooks or clasps used to join curtains.

Context: The Hebrew word קֶרֶס (qeres) appears in the context of the Tabernacle's construction as described in the book of Exodus. It is used to denote hooks or clasps that were employed to join the curtains of the Tabernacle. These hooks were likely made of bronze or gold, as specified in the detailed instructions given to Moses on Mount Sinai. The use of קֶרֶס highlights the intricate and precise craftsmanship required for the Tabernacle, reflecting the sacredness and the divine specifications of the dwelling place of God among the Israelites. The term appears in Exodus 26:6, 26:11, 26:33, 36:13, 36:18, and 39:33, where it is translated as "clasps" in the Berean Standard Bible (BSB). These clasps were essential for the assembly and disassembly of the Tabernacle, ensuring that the structure was both portable and secure.
