Strong's Lexicon qeresh: Board, plank Original Word: קֶרֶשׁ Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to split off; a slab or plank Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance for "qeresh," as it is specific to the Hebrew context of the Tabernacle's construction. Usage: The Hebrew word "qeresh" refers to a board or plank, specifically used in the context of the construction of the Tabernacle in the wilderness. It denotes the structural components that formed the framework of the Tabernacle, which was the portable earthly dwelling place of God among the Israelites. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the Tabernacle was a central place of worship and a symbol of God's presence among His people.

The boards were made of acacia wood, overlaid with gold, and were integral to the sacred space where the Israelites worshiped and offered sacrifices.
