Strong's Lexicon miqdash or miqqedash: Sanctuary, holy place Original Word: מִקְדָּשׁ Word Origin: Derived from the root קָדַשׁ (qadash), meaning "to be holy" or "to set apart." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G39 (ἁγιαστήριον, hagiasterion) - sanctuary - G40 (ἅγιος, hagios) - holy, sacred Usage: The term "miqdash" refers to a sacred or holy place, often used to describe the tabernacle, the temple in Jerusalem, or any designated holy site where God's presence dwells. It signifies a place set apart for worship, sacrifice, and communion with God. The concept of "miqdash" underscores the holiness and separateness of God, as well as the reverence required in approaching Him. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the "miqdash" was central to religious life. The tabernacle, and later the temple, served as the focal point for worship and the sacrificial system. These structures were meticulously designed according to divine instructions, symbolizing God's dwelling among His people. The temple in Jerusalem, built by Solomon, became the primary "miqdash" until its destruction. The concept of a sacred space is deeply rooted in the covenant relationship between God and Israel, emphasizing God's holiness and the need for purity in worship.
