Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for תְּנוּךְ (tenuk) in the Strong's Greek lexicon. However, Greek terms related to architectural features or high points, such as κορυφή (koruphe • G2845), meaning "top" or "summit," may conceptually align with the idea of a pinnacle or extremity.

Usage: The term תְּנוּךְ (tenuk) is used in the context of describing a prominent or projecting part, often in architectural or structural descriptions.

Context: The Hebrew word תְּנוּךְ (tenuk) appears in the context of describing architectural features, specifically referring to a pinnacle or extremity. This term is used to denote a projecting part of a structure, which can be understood as a peak or high point. In the biblical context, such features often carry symbolic significance, representing the utmost or the highest point of a structure, which can be associated with reaching towards the divine or the heavens. The use of תְּנוּךְ in the scriptures highlights the importance of these architectural elements in the ancient Near Eastern context, where structures were often designed to reflect spiritual and religious ideals.
