This term is used in passages such as Acts 6:4, "But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "masreth" refers to the act of service or ministry, often in a religious or ceremonial context. It denotes the duties performed by individuals who are set apart for specific roles, particularly in the service of God or in the context of worship.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, service and ministry were integral to the community's religious life. The Levites, for example, were a tribe set apart for the service of the Tabernacle and later the Temple. Their duties included assisting the priests, maintaining the sacred space, and performing various rituals. The concept of service was deeply embedded in the covenant relationship between God and His people, emphasizing obedience, dedication, and the communal aspect of worship.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>probably pan, dish<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>pan (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">מַשְׂרֵת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> apparently = <font size="+1"><b>pan, dish</b></font>, Palestinian Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">מסרית</font>, only <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">וַתִּקּח הַמּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/13-9.htm">2 Samuel 13:9</a> <em>and she took the pan</em>;
