It denotes a space that is set apart for specific purposes, such as storage or meetings. In the context of the temple, these chambers were integral to the functioning and organization of temple activities.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the temple was not only a place of worship but also a center for community and religious life. The chambers, or "nishkah," within the temple complex served various functions, including storage of sacred items, meeting places for priests, and administrative purposes. These rooms were essential for maintaining the order and sanctity of temple operations.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5391.htm">nashak</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a chamber<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>chambers (1), quarters (1), room (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">נִשְׁכָּה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>chamber</b></font> (rare "" of <font class="hebrew2">לִשְׁכָּה</font>, q. v.;
