census, muster, appointment, appointed place
A term related to counting, appointing, or designating, with applications to military census and sacred appointments. It appears in the parallel accounts of David's census (2 Samuel 24:9, 1 Chronicles 21:5), recording the military muster of Israel. It describes Hezekiah's administrative appointment of Levites for temple service (2 Chronicles 31:13). In Ezekiel's temple vision, it designates an appointed place within the sacred precinct for disposing of sin offering remains (Ezekiel 43:21).
