It implies a structured, leveled area, possibly for building or agricultural purposes. The word suggests a sense of order and intentional design.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, terraces were commonly used in agriculture to maximize arable land on hillsides. These terraces prevented soil erosion and allowed for more efficient farming. The concept of leveling or creating terraces was also significant in construction, as it provided stable foundations for buildings. The use of "miphlas" reflects the importance of preparation and planning in both agricultural and architectural practices in biblical times.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/6425.htm">peles</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a swaying, poising<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>layers (1).<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">מִפְלָשׂ</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>swaying, poising</b></font>; — <font class="hebrew2">מִפְלְשֵׂיעָֿב</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/37-16.htm">Job 37:16</a>; Bu (plausibly) <font class="hebrew2">מִפְרְשֵׂי</font>, as <a href="/interlinear/job/36-29.htm">Job 36:29</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>balancing <p>From an unused root meaning to balance; a poising -- balancing. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>מִפְלְשֵׂי־ מפלשי־ miflesei mip̄·lə·śê- mip̄ləśê-<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/job/37-16.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Job 37:16</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/job/37.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">הֲ֭תֵדַע עַל־ <b> מִפְלְשֵׂי־ </b> עָ֑ב מִ֝פְלְא֗וֹת</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/job/37.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> about <span class="itali">the layers</span> of the thick clouds,<br><a href="/kjvs/job/37.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> Dost thou know <span class="itali">the balancings</span> of the clouds,<br><a href="/interlinear/job/37-16.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> know about <span class="itali">the layers</span> of the thick the wonders<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4657.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4657.htm">Strong's Hebrew 4657<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/miflesei_4657.htm">mip̄·lə·śê- — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/4656.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="4656"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="4656" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/4658.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="4658"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="4658" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
