It can also mean to weave or cover, suggesting the act of overlaying or spreading something over another. This term is used in various contexts, including the preparation of anointing oil, the mixing of wine, and the construction of the tabernacle.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the act of pouring or mixing was significant in both daily life and religious practices. Mixing wine was a common practice, as undiluted wine was often too strong to consume. The preparation of anointing oil, which involved mixing various spices, was a sacred task, reserved for consecrating priests and sacred objects. The concept of covering or overlaying is also seen in the construction of the tabernacle, where specific materials were used to cover the sacred space, symbolizing protection and sanctity.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to mix, produce by mixing<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>mingled (1), mixed (3), mixing (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">מָסַךְ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>mix, produce by mixing</b></font> (compare perhaps <font class="hebrew2">מזג</font>, <font class="hebrew2">מֶזֶג</font> Ba<sup>ES 33, 51</sup>);
