Subjects in this Topic:
1. Masak, "the covering before the door (rather 'the curtain for the entrance,' so KJV distinguishes the words rightly at ) of the tabernacle" (-37); of variegated stuff "wrought with needlework" ("the work of' the embroiderer"), hung on five pillars of acacia wood; the curtain, unlike the hangings at the sides and back of the court, could be drawn up or aside at pleasure. Another before the entrance of the court (). The term also is used in connection with the veil of the holy of holies, the "veil of the covering" ().
2. Qelaim, hangings of fine twined linen for the walls of the court of the tabernacle, like our tapestry ().
