It is associated with organization, order, and preparation, often in a military or administrative context.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the concept of mustering or numbering was significant for both military and religious purposes. The Israelites conducted censuses to organize their tribes for battle and to allocate responsibilities within the community. The "miphqad" was a place where such activities were carried out, reflecting the structured and communal nature of Israelite society. This term also underscores the importance of accountability and readiness in the life of the nation.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6485.htm">paqad</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a muster, appointment, appointed place<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>appointed place (1), appointment (1), census (1), registration (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">מִפְקָד</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>muster, appointment, appointed place</b></font>;
