Berean Strong's Lexicon mekonah: Base, Stand, Foundation Original Word: מכונה Word Origin: Derived from the root כון (kun), meaning "to be firm, established, or prepared." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of a foundation or base can be related to Greek words such as θεμέλιος (themelios, Strong's G2310), meaning "foundation." Usage: The Hebrew word "mekonah" refers to a physical base or stand, often used in the context of describing the bases or stands of the temple furnishings. It conveys the idea of something that is firmly established and serves as a support or foundation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the temple was the center of worship and religious life. The furnishings of the temple, including the altars, lavers, and lampstands, were meticulously crafted and placed on bases or stands to ensure stability and proper function. The use of "mekonah" in this context underscores the importance of having a firm foundation in both physical and spiritual matters.
