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.
