It describes a structural feature that projects out from a wall or surface, typically serving a functional or decorative purpose.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern architecture, ledges and projections were common features in construction. They could serve various purposes, such as supporting upper stories, providing aesthetic appeal, or offering practical utility like storage or seating. The use of such architectural elements reflects the ingenuity and resourcefulness of ancient builders in maximizing space and functionality.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1639.htm">gara</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a recess, ledge<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>offsets (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">מִגְרָעָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>recess, rebatement</b></font> (RV), i.e. ledge, only plural, <font class="hebrew2">נָתֵן מִגְרָעוֺת לבית</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/6-6.htm">1 Kings 6:6</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>narrowed rest <p>From <a href="/hebrew/1639.htm">gara'</a>; a ledge or offset -- narrowed rest. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/1639.htm">gara'</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>מִגְרָעוֹת֩ מגרעות miḡ·rā·‘ō·wṯ miḡrā‘ōwṯ migraOt<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/1_kings/6-6.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">1 Kings 6:6</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/1_kings/6.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">רָחְבָּ֑הּ כִּ֡י <b> מִגְרָעוֹת֩ </b> נָתַ֨ן לַבַּ֤יִת</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/1_kings/6.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> he made <span class="itali">offsets</span> [in the wall] of the house<br><a href="/kjvs/1_kings/6.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> he made <span class="itali">narrowed rests</span> round about,<br><a href="/interlinear/1_kings/6-6.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> wide for <span class="itali">offsets</span> made the house<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4052.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4052.htm">Strong's Hebrew 4052<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/migraot_4052.htm">miḡ·rā·‘ō·wṯ — 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/4051.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="4051"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="4051" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/4053.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="4053"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="4053" /></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>
