Usage: The term שָׁקֻף is used in the context of describing architectural elements, specifically openings or windows that have a beveled or slanted design. This term is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible. Context: The Hebrew term שָׁקֻף (shaqūph) is associated with architectural features, particularly those found in ancient buildings. It refers to an embrasure or an opening that is characterized by beveled jambs. This design element was common in ancient Near Eastern architecture, where windows or openings were often constructed with slanted sides to allow for better visibility and light penetration while maintaining structural integrity. The beveled design also served practical purposes, such as deflecting rainwater and providing a degree of privacy or protection from the elements. In the context of biblical architecture, such features would have been significant in the construction of palaces, temples, and other important structures. The term is not widely used in the biblical text, indicating its specific and technical nature.
