These knops are typically associated with the intricate designs that adorned the lampstands and other sacred furnishings.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the Tabernacle and later the Temple were central places of worship and held great religious significance. The detailed craftsmanship of these sacred spaces was a reflection of the Israelites' devotion to God. The use of "peqaim" in the design of the lampstand (menorah) and other furnishings symbolized life, growth, and divine beauty, drawing from the natural world to enhance the spiritual atmosphere.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>gourd (shaped) ornaments<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>gourds (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מְּקָעִים</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>1Kings 7:24</sup> <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>plural</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>carved wood or metal ornaments, either ball-, knob-shaped</b></font> (Löw<sup>p. 332 f.</sup>) of gourd-shaped (so most;
