Strong's Lexicon sebakah: Network, Lattice, Latticework Original Word: שְׂבָכָה Word Origin: Derived from the root סָבַךְ (savakh), meaning "to interweave" or "to entwine." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "sebakah," the concept of latticework or network can be related to Greek terms describing woven or interlaced structures, such as πλέγμα (plegma), meaning "a plaiting" or "braid." Usage: The term "sebakah" refers to a network or latticework, often used in the context of architectural or ornamental design. It describes an interwoven structure, typically made of metal or wood, that serves both functional and decorative purposes. In the Bible, it is used to describe the intricate designs found in the construction of sacred objects and spaces, such as the Temple. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern architecture, latticework was a common feature, providing both aesthetic beauty and practical function, such as ventilation and light filtration. The use of "sebakah" in the construction of the Temple and its furnishings reflects the importance of craftsmanship and artistry in worship settings. The intricate designs symbolized the order and beauty of God's creation and His dwelling place among His people.
