It denotes a physical barrier or partition, typically made of woven fabric, that serves both a functional and symbolic purpose. In the context of the tabernacle, it was used to separate sacred spaces and to provide a sense of reverence and holiness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the tabernacle was the central place of worship and the dwelling place of God's presence among His people. The "massach" was an integral part of the tabernacle's structure, serving as a screen or curtain at the entrance of the tent of meeting and the Holy of Holies. These coverings were made of fine linen and richly embroidered, reflecting the sacredness and beauty of the worship space. The use of curtains and screens in the tabernacle was not only practical but also deeply symbolic, representing the separation between the divine and the human, and the need for purity and holiness in approaching God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>perhaps from <a href="/hebrew/5255.htm">nasach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>perhaps repulse, defense<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>defense (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">מַסָּח</font> dubious word, only in <font class="hebrew2">וּשְׂמַרְתֶּם אֶתמִֿשְׁמֶרֶת</font> <font class="hebrew2">הַבַּיִת מַסָּ֑ח</font> <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/11-6.htm">2 Kings 11:6</a>;
