It is used in the context of describing something that is measured or regulated according to a specific standard or design. This word emphasizes the concept of order and precision, often in relation to construction or craftsmanship.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, precise measurements and patterns were crucial, especially in the construction of sacred spaces like the Tabernacle and the Temple. The use of "mathkoneth" reflects the importance of adhering to divine instructions and maintaining order, which was a significant aspect of Israelite culture and religious practice. The concept of measurement also extended to moral and ethical standards, where God's laws provided a "measure" for righteous living.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/8505.htm">takan</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>measurement, tally, proportion<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>proportions (2), quota (1), specifications (1), standard (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">מַתְכֹּ֫נֶת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>measurement, tale, proportion</b></font>;
