In the context of biblical architecture, the lintel was a significant part of the doorframe, often associated with the Passover narrative where the Israelites marked their doorposts and lintels with the blood of the lamb (Exodus 12:7).<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern architecture, the lintel was a crucial component of building construction, providing stability and support to the structure. The use of the lintel in the Passover account highlights its importance, as it was marked with blood to signify protection and deliverance from the plague. This act of marking the lintel was a demonstration of faith and obedience to God's command, serving as a sign for the angel of death to pass over the homes of the Israelites.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6328.htm">puq</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>tottering, staggering<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>grief (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">מּוּקָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>tottering, staggering</b></font>; — figurative for qualm of conscience <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/25-31.htm">1 Samuel 25:31</a> (+ <font class="hebrew2">מִכְשׁוֺל לֵב</font>, see Dr). <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>grief <p>From <a href="/hebrew/6328.htm">puwq</a>; a stumbling-block -- grief. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/6328.htm">puwq</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>לְפוּקָה֩ לפוקה lə·p̄ū·qāh lefuKah ləp̄ūqāh<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_samuel/25-31.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">1 Samuel 25:31</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/25.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">זֹ֣את ׀ לְךָ֡ <b> לְפוּקָה֩ </b> וּלְמִכְשׁ֨וֹל לֵ֜ב</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/1_samuel/25.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> will not cause <span class="itali">grief</span> or a troubled<br><a href="/kjvs/1_samuel/25.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> <span class="itali">That this shall be no grief</span> unto thee, nor offence<br><a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/25-31.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> cause likewise <span class="itali">grief</span> A troubled heart<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6330.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6330.htm">Strong's Hebrew 6330<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/lefukah_6330.htm">lə·p̄ū·qāh — 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/6329.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="6329"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="6329" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/6331.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="6331"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="6331" /></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>
